This journal is a wholly open access journal, which means all articles are published Gold Open Access under a Creative Commons licence. In many cases the costs of publishing Gold Open Access articles are covered by institutional open access agreements. Authors not covered by such an agreement may have funding from their funding body or institution to pay an article processing charge (APC). However Cambridge provides multiple other routes to funding Gold Open Access, including equity initiatives and APC waivers and discounts, in order to ensure that every author can publish in this journal and enjoy the benefits of Gold Open Access. Please see this journal's open access options for full details.

For cases where an APC is required, please see the table below for this journal’s APC rates (additional taxes may apply).
