From 28 November 2025, all articles accepted for publication in BJPsych International will be published Gold Open Access, with a Creative Commons licence and freely available to read online (see the journal’s Open Access Options page for available licence options).
We have an OA option for every author: The costs of open access publication will be covered through agreements between the publisher and the author’s institution, payment of APCs for those with third-party funding, or else waived entirely, ensuring no author will ever have to pay personally to publish in BJPsych International, while still enjoying the benefits of OA.
Further information and FAQs around this change are available here. Please contact the journal editorial office if you have any further questions: BJPInternational@rcpsych.ac.uk
