Licenses and copyright

Epidemiologia&Prevenzione offers two different publication options:

• Free: content accessible only to subscribers, under a standard licence with copyright transferred to the publisher;
• Article Processing Charges: open-access content available to everyone, under a licence chosen by the authors. In this case, authors are required to pay a fee

Licenses and copyright

The authors transfer the copyright to the publisher under an exclusive licence. The authors are permitted to use their own material for educational purposes with a limited number of learners.

APC License (open access publication)

To obtain an open access and fast-track license, authors are required to pay a fee [link a tariffe open access] and to complete, sign and submit to the editorial office the form specifying the type of license to be assigned (see list below).

The payment of the fee and the license selection form are required from authors ONLY IF the manuscript is accepted for publication.
