How to submit article for consideration
If you are a “corresponding author” from a participating Jisc member institution (see the list above), simply submit the article to one of the Hogrefe journals; once the manuscript is accepted for publication, you can publish the article open access under the APA-Jisc agreement.
“Corresponding author" means the person who submits the manuscript to the journal, is responsible for correspondence regarding the article, and is listed as such within the article. The designation of “corresponding author” is independent of the order in which contributing authors are listed.
We do not permit multiple corresponding authors. When the corresponding author has multiple affiliations, the institution of the author’s primary (first-named) affiliation is determining.
You will be made aware of this agreement during the submission and review process in the Editorial Manager submission portal, which will link to the terms of the agreement and a sample publication release. The agreement comes into effect on August 1, 2023. Original articles received by the publisher as an accepted manuscript on or after that date will be checked by your contact person at the publisher. After acceptance, you will be sent a publication release form tailored to the agreement and can inform us under which CC-BY copyright license you would like to publish the article.
Please note that certain research funders (e.g. cOAlition S, Wellcome Trust, UKRI, NIHR) require articles acknowledging their funding to be published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. If unsure, you can check funder requirements in Sherpa. Most institutions also prefer the use of the CC BY licence; please check with your librarian if unsure.
In the release form, you will be asked to indicate your institutional affiliation. This institution must subsequently confirm your affiliation. When indicating your institutional affiliation, please make sure that you name the institution at which you are working at the time of acceptance of the article (even if you have subsequently moved). If you are researching and working at more than one institution, the first-named (“primary affiliation”) applies.
Upon submission, the corresponding author must provide funder information (Funder Name and Grant No./ID) and also Ringgold affiliation ID where possible. Funder notes are integrated in the XML and displayed in the HTML version as well as in the PDF version of an article.
