Royal Society archive open access
The move is being made as part of the Royal Society’s ongoing commitment to open access in scientific publishing. Opening of the archive is being timed to coincide with Open Access Week, and also comes soon after the Royal Society announced its first ever fully open access journal, Open Biology. 26 October 2011
Royal Society journal archive made permanently free to access
Royal Society transparent pricing model
For 2012 we have introduced a new transparent pricing mechanism that ensures that we take full account of the growth and impact of Open Access (OA) content, and its ‘author pays’ revenue. This ensures that we do not receive an article processing charge (APC), for the article to be open access, and then subscription income for the same article. (2/9/11)

Royal Society open access
NEWS 21/10/09: In keeping with our role as the UK's national academy of science, The Royal Society is committed to the widest possible dissemination of research outputs. Consequently, our own publishing operation is one of the most open access of all science publishers. We offer the following types of open access to our journal articles: delayed, "Green" and "Gold" open access, and free access for the world's poorest nations. We regularly open our digital journal archive of some 70,000 articles dating from 1665 and it will be opened up again next month.
