Open Access Publishing Agreements: Taylor and Francis

The IReL-T&F open access publishing agreement allows corresponding authors from UCD to publish articles open access in Taylor and Francis hybrid journals at no extra cost.

Agreement period: 1 Jan 2024 – 31 Dec 2026.

OA quota: the OA publishing fund with this agreement is limited (APC quota shared among participating institutions):

• 2024 - 305 articles.
• 2025 - 312 articles. 
• 2026 - 320 articles. 

UPDATE (30th July, 2025): APC quota has been fully used up. This agreement is now closed for the remainder of the year. OA workflow is suspended and authors will not be informed of the agreement on acceptance. 

All T&F Open Select journals (hybrid journals).

NOTE: from January 2024, T&F agreement no longer covers their fully Open Access journals.

Information on IReL page.

Eligible authors: the corresponding author must be a current staff member or student of a participating institution at the time the article is accepted for publication. The corresponding author must ensure their correct affiliation details are known to the publisher at this time.

Eligible article types: Article, Review, Research Article, Review Article, Report, Short Communication, Case Report, Note, Original Article, Guest Editorial.

OA publishing license: authors will have the option to choose between a CC BY, CC BY-NC or CC BY-NC-ND licence, if offered by the journal to which the article has been submitted. 

Note: text in T&F’s author workflows may give the impression that authors will be billed for the APC if they choose OA and are rejected for IReL APC funding. This will not happen: if rejected, authors will be offered a choice (paying the APC from their own funds, or subscription access at no cost).
