CHOOSE THE OPEN ACCESS OPTION THAT SUITS YOUR INSTITUTION
Read and publish agreements Our tailored read and publish agreements are designed to support institution’s transition to open access. These agreements remove the burden of publishing fees from individual authors, as well as providing read access to all existing and forthcoming BMJ Group journal content.

Prepay accounts An advance payment system that allows institutions to deposit funds to cover the cost of open access publishing by their authors in any of our journals. The APC (minus your discount) is deducted from the account balance on acceptance of the article. Benefits • Institutions decide how much to pay upfront (minimum deposit amount required) • Discount applied to APCs • Automated open access workflows and advanced reporting through dashboards – access your institution’s latest data anytime and from anywhere • Automatic reminders if/when an account top-up is required • Unused funds automatically roll over to the following year • Streamlines the administration of your institution’s open access output • Authors pay nothing – the agreement covers all publishing costs.
