Elsevier Offers Open Access
Elsevier will be offering their authors the option to pay a sponsorship fee to ensure that their article, already accepted for publication, is made freely available to non-subscribers via ScienceDirect. The fee for article sponsorship is $3,000.
The following physics journals are the first to offer this option:
Nuclear Physics A
Nuclear Physics B
Nuclear Physics B Proceedings Supplements
Nuclear Instruments and Methods A
Physics Letters B
Astroparticle Physics
Thirty more journals also plan to offer this option in the next two months. From Carl Schwartz, Elsevier Physics and Astronomy Publisher.
