Open Access Option – Compositio Mathematica

Introduction

Since May 2011, authors of papers accepted by Compositio Mathematica have the option to have their article made freely available online in final published form (’Open Access’). There is a charge for this which is payable to the London Mathematical Society.

Author charge

The following open access charges apply:

Payments from outside the United Kingdom	€2,000 or £1,775 or $2,950
Payments from the United Kingdom	£2,130 (which includes VAT at 20%)
NOTE: For payments from the UK, VAT will be charged at the rate prevalent at the time of payment.

For information about how to pay the charge, please write to compmath@lms.ac.uk immediately after sending in your signed Licence Agreement form (see the following paragraph).

Author and User licences

Authors will be required to sign a standard Compositio Mathematica Licence to Publish. This form will allow authors to indicate their intention to publish under open access.

The original authorship is properly and fully attributed;
The journal and publisher are attributed as the original place of publication with correct citation details given;
If an original work is subsequently reproduced or disseminated not in its entirety but only in part or as a derivative work this is clearly indicated;
No articles are reproduced for commercial purposes without the prior consent of the London Mathematical Society (LMS) and payment to LMS of any appropriate fee.

Users have unrestricted rights to re-use Open Access content for educational and research purposes (but not for commercial purposes).

Publisher's obligations

Where an author has indicated on the Licence to Publish Form that he or she intends the paper to be published under open access, and provided that the appropriate charge has been paid, the paper will be published online and in print as other papers, except that:

The paper will be made available without charge to all users who agree to the Creative Commons Attribution–Noncommercial Licence;
The paper will be denoted as Open Access by use of an appropriate symbol in the table of contents published on the Journal's website.

Termination

The option for authors to submit for publication under open access may be withdrawn at any time.
