12. RSC’s Open Access policies We provide Gold OA options in all our journals –APCs: £1,000 (Communication, Technical Note); £1,600 (Full Paper); £2,500 (Review Article) –Choice of CC BY and CC BY NC license 1 gold OA Journal Chemical Science Deposition of authors’ final accepted version in an institutional repository is permissible with full text of article available 12 months after publication Article metadata can be deposited in a non-commercial repository at any time after publication Green route via deposition in our Chemical Sciences Article Repository - automatic deposition of the authors’ final version if this is opted into at submission (12 month embargo period)
