When making requests to reuse content in an electronic journal or eBook format, we ask if you will be publishing your work in an Open Access model.
This is a specific publishing model for academic publishers and means your work will most likely be published under a Creative Commons Licence. The Rights and Licensing Hub have created an Essential Guide to Open Access, which can be found here.
If you're not sure if your article or eBook will be published in an Open Access model, we recommend speaking to your editor before completing the online permissions form.
If you are publishing online and making the content openly available, you should select 'no' unless Green or Gold Open Access applies.
