Advances in Computational Intelligence is a hybrid journal. Once the article is accepted for
publication, authors will have the option to choose how their article is published:
- Subscription publishing model – published articles are made available to institutions
and individuals who subscribe to Advances in Computational Intelligence or who pay to read specific
articles. - Open access – when an article is accepted for publication, the author/s or funder/s
pay an article processing charge (APC). The final version of the published article is then
free to read for everyone.
Authors may need to take specific actions to achieve compliance
with funder and institutional open access mandates.
Some funders, for example NIH or Plan S members,
require you to make your article immediately accessible on publication.
You will need to select open access publication to comply when publishing with Springer Nature,
we will help you choose the correct route where possible.
If you select the subscription publishing route,
you accept the journal’s standard licensing terms.
This route isn’t suitable if your funders require immediate access (for example NIH or Plan S).
This is
because subscription authors must warrant
that they haven’t already committed to terms inconsistent with our licensing agreement,
including the embargo period.
