Maney Publishing launches open access model

Maney Publishing is pleased to announce the launch of a new open access (OA)
business model, MORE OpenChoice. Twenty-four materials science and
engineering journals and fifteen health science titles are initially
included in MORE OpenChoice, with the intention to expand this to humanities
journals in the future.

MORE OpenChoice represents a new business model which will co-exist with
Maney’s traditional subscription business in disciplines where funding
agencies require their research work to be put in the public domain.

MORE OpenChoice has been developed in response to the changing requirements
of customers. In a dynamic business and with the exciting prospects that
digitization of content brings, this is just one of several initiatives
being introduced to ensure that Maney continues to attract the best research
which when published achieves the maximum impact. MORE OpenChoice papers
will provide additional momentum in optimizing dissemination of, and access
to, research in specific disciplines and in particular parts of the world.

Gaynor Redvers-Mutton, Business Development Manager at Maney Publishing, is
leading the open access project: ‘We have priced our article charge
competitively to help to stimulate the OA market and offer our authors real
choice. Our easy and straightforward service for MORE OpenChoice papers will
neither favour nor prejudice papers that opt for open access publication.
The standards applied through peer-review will be applied uniformly and the
published output in all our journals will be of the same high quality.’

Full details of Maney’s OA model are available on the website at
