5. JBRHA'S Open Access Initiative

The advent of online publication has greatly improved access to scientific content on a global scale. This has led to calls from the academic community for research publications to be made freely available online and immediately upon publication, without the barrier of paid subscription to access.

In response to these calls, and following consultation with journal contributors, the Editors of JBRHA launched an Open Access initiative for JBRHA on 1 June 2022. This means that manuscripts which submitted from 1 June 2022 and accepted after peer review will be published in JBRHA with open access under the CC BY license.

There are substantial costs associated with operating a high quality journal such as JBRHA, including administration of the editorial process, production of the published version, and development of online functionality. We primarily use article processing charges to cover publication costs. For more information, please refer to: Article Processing Charge.
