BMJ OA Author guide-institutions w/read & publish agreement

Step 4 Approved funding requests If your request is approved, you will receive a con fi rmation email from RightsLink ® , our payments service provider. Your article will proceed through production and is then published open access in the journal of your choice.

If your pro fi le has Touch Free transactions enabled you will receive a slightly di ff erent message. Note: If the pro fi le does not have TouchFree transactions enabled, and therefore you completed the funding request yourself, you can view the Order Con fi rmation from within your Manage Account portal, by clicking your original payment due link or, in many cases, by clicking an APC link from within your submission systems’ author dashboard.

Step 5 Denied funding requests

If your request is denied, you will be noti fi ed by email of the reason for the denial and will be prompted to take the next best steps. Once paid, your article will be sent to our production team and published open access in the journal of your choice.

Your request could be denied for one of the following reasons: • APC exceeds maximum fee limit • Missing required Creative Commons license • Funding no longer available • Questioning author a ffi liation • Other
