Imperial is participating in a read and publish agreement with the American Institute of Physics (AIP) which covers the period 2021-2023. This provides immediate open access for all research articles published by Imperial corresponding authors, with no additional cost to the author. The agreement allows you to publish open access in any of AIP’s 28 hybrid subscription titles. The agreement also provides access to nearly all of AIP Publishing’s peer-reviewed, hybrid journals. AIP Publishing’s open access journals (AIP Advances, APL Bioengineering, APL Materials, APL Photonics, Structural Dynamics, and Matter and Radiation at Extremes) are not included in the agreement as they are already open access publications.

Journals included in this agreement and others we have signed can be found using our journal search tool using journal title, ISSN or keyword.

Under the terms of the agreement, upon acceptance of your manuscript, you will be able to choose and sign the CC BY or CC BY-NC open access license.

To be eligible, articles must meet the following conditions

• Be a research article
  Eligible article types: Brief Communication, Communication, Conference Article, Fast Track or Article-FT, Letter, Note, Perspective, Article, Research Update, Review, Roadmap, Tutorial
  Ineligible article types: Addendum, Announcement, Commentary, Comment, Conference Editorial, Editorial, Erratum, Referee Acknowledgement, New Products, Preface, Publisher's Note, Response, Retraction
