* The journal has a transparent ownership structure, and is controlled by and responsive to the scholarly community.
* Authors of articles in the journal retain copyright.
* All articles are published open access and an explicit open access licence is used.
* Submission and publication is not conditional in any way on the payment of a fee from the author or its employing institution, or on membership of an institution or society.
* Any fees paid on behalf of the journal to publishers are low, transparent, and in proportion to the work carried out.
OA journals None - we help existing journals flip to Fair Open Access with every publisher who is prepared to comply with our FOA principles
