Agreement period:

1 January 2024 - 31 December 2026

OA quota per year: the OA publishing fund with this agreement is limited:

• for 2025, capped at 312 articles. 
• for 2026, capped at 320 articles. 

When the fund is fully spent each year, the author OA workflow will be suspended so authors will not be informed of the agreement on acceptance. 

Agreement details
The open access publishing agreement with Taylor and Francis allows corresponding authors from Maynooth University make their articles accepted for publication in eligible T&F journals open access without the author paying an article processing charge (APC). 

Eligible journals:

All T&F Open Select journals (hybrid journals).
For a full list of the journals available for OA publishing under IReL deals, see: http://bit.ly/irelOAjournal

Eligible authors:

The corresponding author must be a current staff member or student of a participating institution at the time the accepted article enters production. The corresponding author must ensure their correct affiliation details are known to the publisher at this time.
Text in T&F’s author workflows may give the impression that authors will be billed for the APC if they choose OA and are rejected for IReL APC funding. This will not happen: if rejected, authors will be offered a choice (paying the APC from their own funds, or publishing the article on a subscription access at no cost). T&F author workflow: for hybrid journals

Eligible article types:

Article, Review, Research Article, Review Article, Report, Short Communication, Case Report, Note, Original Article, Guest Editorial.
