Publish open access with the ISSM Journals
Your research is important, and we want to make sure it is accessible to the entire sexual medicine community.
Publishing Open Access allows clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals around the world to read and use your work, including those who may not have (institutional) access to subscription journals.
Even more importantly, many authors can now publish Open Access without paying the article processing charge (APC) through institutional agreements with Oxford University Press (OUP).
Publishing Open Access increases the visibility of your work, helps expand knowledge in sexual medicine globally, and can lead to more readers and citations.
For Sexual Medicine Open Access, ISSM’s official full open access journal, ISSM members benefit from A 50% discount on the article processing charge.
Tip for ISSM Members
"As a journal, we would strongly encourage authors to publish their work Open Access with JSM if feasible. Open Access offers several notable benefits, with one of the most notable being that the article is indexed by Al agents such as ChatGPT. This makes it much more likely that your article will be cited by others and have a broader reach and impact overall. Many authors do not realize that their institutions have agreements with the publisher to provide Open Access publishing at no additional cost. So, we would encourage you to check if your institution has this agreement in place at the point where you make the selection on how to publish."
