Open Access
Curtis Press is pleased to offer open access publishing to its authors. With open access the final book pdf is made available, free of charge to the reader, on the Curtis Press website, as well as being supplied to the author to archive within their own repository. Therefore, the book becomes available to anyone wishing to download it free of charge. Open access enables an author to be confident their work will not be restricted in distribution by the cost of the book to the reader.
Funding open access
