We know it’s important to our authors to make their research as visible as possible; and they want to share their latest results with their colleagues right away. Many of you also now have open access requirements from funding agencies, such as NIH and EPSRC. So, PCCP wants to make things easy for you.
PCCP has a straight-forward policy:
- We allow deposition of your submitted manuscript in non-commercial pre-submission repositories (such as ArXiV)
- You can deposit the accepted version of your PCCP article in a non-commercial repository (this includes institution and funding body repositories)
- You can also share your research via your personal website(s) or your institute’s intranet
- RSC Publishing also offer authors the opportunity to make their article free to access for all via the web with our Open Science option
PCCP article templates
We also know that when our authors use repositories, they want the original version of their article to look as professional as possible. This is why we provide a handy PCCP article template so you can quickly prepare your article for submission. Our (optional) templates are available in Microsoft Word or LaTeX to suit our authors working across the broad fields of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry.
For full details of our deposition and open access policies please see our website or the summary on the RSC Publishing blog.
We hope this has made things clearer for you and we encourage you to submit your best research to PCCP.
