How to submit your article

The following instructions for authors have been provided by the publisher. Further details are available on the OUP website.

  1. During peer-review/pre-acceptance, you should ensure that your affiliation is up-to-date and correct in your Submission System profile and on your article.
  2. Once your article has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication, you will receive an email which contains a link to the Online Licensing and Payments System, SciPris. SciPris will check your institutional affiliation and article type to determine if you are eligible to use the funds.
  3. Proceed to request use of the Read and Publish Agreement funds.
  4. Sign in and create an account if you don’t have one. (This is not the same system you used to submit your article to the journal.)
  5. The license options are displayed. You won’t see any prices because you aren’t required to make a payment.
  6. Send the request for review.
  7. View your dashboard or sign out.
