Dear all

I’ve just found out today that Nature Communications is not fully open access and still available as a subscription, so you may want to add it back on to the suggestions list.  An academic was enquiring about access  and Pamela found this information on the JISC website:

New submissions to the journal from today (20th October) will only be on an OA basis, but anything submitted and in the workflow before 20th October, can be on either model at the author’s choice and will not be known until the end stages of acceptance.  NPG receives well over a thousand submissions each month and it is not yet clear how many of the accepted manuscripts will be OA or subscription.  Due to the anticipated significant numbers published on the traditional mode, the journal will continue to be available as a subscription purchase in 2015.

Please let me know of any other decisions as soon as possible.

Thanks

Elaine
