Open Access Option
All papers are freely available online in RNA 12 months after publication, unless an author pays an Open Access (OA) Article Processing Charge (APC) ($2000 for RNA Society members; $3750 for non-Society members) to make a paper freely available online immediately upon publication. Authors can select Open Access with either a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC License (Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International), as described at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/, or a CC-BY License (Attribution 4.0 International), as described at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Authors who choose Open Access may select one of the two CC licenses by completing the OA License to Publish form upon acceptance (available in the Author Area at submit.rnajournal.org). Choosing Open Access will have no effect on acceptance and publication of submitted papers.
Note: The OA APC is in addition to the journal’s publication service charge ($1000 for RNA Society members; $1500 for non-Society members), plus any additional author alteration or extra page fees, which apply to all accepted papers.
