When you write an article for a journal, you will want to consider the costs associated with publishing it, along with which journal is most appropriate for your research.
If you publish 'Gold Open Access' (BU's preferred option), which makes your article freely available to anyone in full text, without subscription, from the point of publication, there is likely to be a publisher cost in the form of an article processing charge (APC). The good news is that BU has in place deals with many publishers which will allow BU authors to publish Gold Open Access for free (or in some cases for the cost of VAT).
If BU's publishing deals are not available for the journal you want to publish in, and you don't have separate funding, you can apply to BU's Open Access Publication Fund, which supports Gold Open Access options (money from this is not guaranteed)
It may be that you have funds in place already to publish Gold Open Access, from a grant for example, in which case you will not need to review BU's publishing deals. Some discounts may be available for self-funded submissions.
If a Gold Open Access option is not possible, you can publish 'Green Open Access' (APC does not need to be paid).Your article will be accessible to anyone with a subscription to the journal in which it is published, and you can also make a copy more widely available through BURO, the University repository.
When looking for an appropriate journal to which you can submit your article for review/publish in, you should consider the following;
Our journal deals cover all (or most) of the cost of publishing Gold Open Access in thousands of journals from these publishers. Use the information for each publisher (tabbed sections) to see if the journal you are interested in publishing in is included in a particular deal.
If you identify that a journal you are interested in submitting to, is included in one of these deals, read the instructions we have provided carefully for that publisher, before proceeding to the their submission page. Funding eligibility should be recognised by the publisher as you progress through the submission process. If you think the journal is covered by a deal but this is not being recognised during the submission process, please contact OpenAccess@bournemouth.ac.uk
If the journal you wish to submit to is not included in one of these deals, review information about BU's Open Access Publication Fund.
If you are unsure of who publishes a journal, try doing a web search for the journal home page.
