Authors
As of December 15, 2021, corresponding authors affiliated with an institution participating in the CRKN agreement will be able to publish an unlimited number of their articles as open access in most IOPP hybrid and gold journals for the duration of the agreement (2025-2027). No article processing charges (APC) fees will be levied for open access publication.
Most IOPP journals use ScholarOne for the submission process. Please consult the guide to submitting under a Transformative Agreement which outlines the author's workflow.
A small number of partner journals do not use ScholarOne. While the submission process may be slightly different from the steps described in IOPP's guide, eligible articles will still be identified and authors will receive a notification to that effect.

Libraries
There is no intervention (or validation) required by Libraries for this agreement. Once an eligible article is identified via the author's affiliation, the article will automatically be processed under the open access terms of this agreement. An instructional webinar recording is available here.
To request retroactive OA conversion, members can contact openaccesscharging@iop.org.
