General Information about Subscription Journals
Subscription Models
All of our journals have online versions and some have both print and online versions (very few are still available in print only). Some content is free in the online version after an embargo period or as open access in fully Open Access or hybrid journals. The editorial policy varies for each journal, please visit the journal’s policies to clarify for each journal.
EDP Sciences works with institutions to offer flexible subscription options. Below are the different ways to access paid content:

- Subscribe to Open (S2O). Subscribe to Open (S2O) is an innovative, transformative model that aims to move subscription journals to open access in a fair and sustainable way. Following the subscription renewal cycle, a journal joining the S2O programme will publish its newly-accepted content in open access as soon as all subscription renewals have been received, typically at the end of February in Year 1. More information on S2O is available here or download the leaflet.
Most of our journals have a Pay per view option. In this case, you pay online (by credit card) for the desired content.
