 RSC Gold OA投稿流程
註:更多投稿流程詳情,請點選官網說明
 挑戰RSC鑽石Diamond open access期刊-- Chemical Science
  如果上述9種黃金OA期刊(RSC Gold Open Access)不過癮,那麼RSC鑽石級的開放獲取Diamond open access期刊-- Chemical Science歡迎想要真正挑戰有關Chemical Science現狀的大膽論文。Chemical Science-RSC旗艦型的OA期刊與上述9種黃金OA期刊最大的不同是自2015年起不再收取APC文章處理費,文章作者不但擁有文章的版權,更允許使用者閱讀、下載、複製、分發、打印、搜索或鏈接到文章的全文,或任何其他合法目的,而無需事先得到出版商或作者的許可。Chemical Science 2021年的IF指數為9.969;2017-2021年均列為Q1期刊。Chemical Science的投稿流程與前述9種OA期刊相同,更多有關投稿Chemical Science的詳情請點選官網說明
 投稿RSC Gold OA期刊作者授權方式
  一旦投稿的文章被接受發表,作者需要進一步選擇並簽署發表許可choose and sign a licence to publish。RSC提供所有Gold OA期刊中標準的開放獲取出版物知識共享許可,並提供更彈性的作品本身再利用與發表許可並滿足資助機構的要求。RSC提供兩種知識共享許可Creative Commons licences - CC BY licence、CC BY-NC licence二種。因此作者可以根據資助機構或研究機構、或個人的需求選擇合適的許可授權。有關Creative Commons licences的選擇說明詳見更多官網Choose your licence相關說明。
  有關本校更多投稿OA期刊APC優惠訊息,請參閱中興大學圖書館Open Access (OA)期刊資源網頁中本校各項OA投稿優惠訊息,未來本館也將陸續新增各種投稿OA期刊相關資訊,歡迎全校師生隨時點閱關注。
