Publishing Model
In accordance with its open access policy, the journal Moduli is free to readers, free to individual authors, and operates on a not-for-profit basis. However, the journal does incur real costs for its peer review, typesetting and online distribution.
For this reason, if funding can be accessed for the payment of an Article Processing Charge (‘APC’), either through a pre-paid arrangement between an author’s institution and Cambridge University Press, or through direct funding available in an author’s research grant, we ask that you please contribute to the costs of running the journal by taking advantage of such arrangements when you can. This will help secure the new journal’s success and long-term sustainability.
The journal’s policy is that no author will be obliged to pay an APC. This means that if you tell us that no such institutional arrangement or direct funding is available to you or to your co-authors, then your APC will be waived. The costs of publishing your paper will be met collectively by other researchers who have access to funding arrangements.
Other routes to open access
Under this journal’s Green Open Access policy, authors can make pre-published versions of their articles available in institutional or other repositories, or on their personal or departmental websites, under certain conditions. This allows authors to comply with the open access mandates of many funders and institutions before the final article is published as Gold Open Access. For more information, please see Cambridge University Press’s Green Open Access policy page, where you can download a spreadsheet with full details about which versions of articles authors can post online, and where and when authors can post them.
If you have open access questions which are not answered by our policy pages and resources, please contact openresearch@cambridge.org.
Preprint policy
A preprint is an early version of an article prior to the version accepted for publication in a journal. This journal allows preprints to be posted anywhere at any time, including before submission to the journal. For more information, see the Cambridge University Press preprint policy.
