Policy on adjusting subscription prices to reflect open access publishing

Our customers never pay for an article twice (i.e. once through an article publication charge and again through a subscription charge) as we fully account for revenue from publication charges when setting subscription prices.

2025 prices for journal subscriptions have been adjusted using the most recent full year of data on APC revenue (2023). In total in 2025, 2 journals had reduced subscription prices and 14 journals had reduced subscription price increases due to increases in open access articles and associated publication charge revenue. Flexible and Printed Electronics had its price reduced by 0.5%, and Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties had its price reduced by 0.4%.

These price adjustments are made for all customers.
