There are many benefits of an open access membership with Taylor & Francis. They include:
- A secure prepayment account with funds set aside for article publishing charges (APCs).
- Discounts on the APC for every open access article.

- Reduced administration of processing multiple invoices.
- Developing open access publishing at your institution by facilitating the funding of APCs.
- A dedicated and personalized open access page on Taylor & Francis Online.
Do you want to provide your researchers with open access publishing support and comply with funder and institutional mandates?
Our open access team can work with you to develop a solution which meets your needs.
Prepay money into a fund that allows eligible researchers to publish their article gold open access in most Taylor & Francis journals. APCs covered by the fund will receive a discount, with the level of discount determined by the amount of money you deposit into your account.
The funds in your prepayment account do not expire and can be withdrawn at any time.
Promote your membership to researchers using your personalized page on Taylor & Francis Online. The page displays eligibility criteria and other information authors need to publish their article open access. It also acts as a portal for all open access research from your institution – providing increased visibility for the articles published using membership funds.
The Taylor & Francis Research Dashboard is a new tool for open access members to manage their account. The dashboard gives you visibility of all papers from corresponding authors affiliated with your institution on acceptance and allows you to:
- View accepted article metadata including DOI and funder information (if available).
- Approve or decline APC funding from your prepayment for each article.
- Receive author requests to make articles open access.
- Monitor your current account funds and download historical transactions for reporting.

- Request a call with one of our open access team to discuss your needs.
- Decide the amount of funds you would like to add to your prepayment account.
- Once your prepayment account is finalized, your institution will receive an invitation to create a personal login to manage your prepayment fund via the Research Dashboard.
- We’ll provide you with training to start using the Research Dashboard and show you how you can convert previously published papers to open access if you wish to.
Please note: All APC payments taken from the account have to be approved by a central contact at the institution. If an author requests that their paper be funded from the prepayment, the transaction has to be approved before the APC is processed.
