Following a previous posting on the topic of JoVE, I am pleased to report that the publisher has developed a Wellcome Trust /UKPMC Funders Group-compliant, open access option.

“For articles published under Open Access, JoVE applies the Creative Common Attribution-Noncommercial license . Under this license, authors retain ownership of the copyright for their article, but authors allow anyone to download, reuse, reprint, distribute, and/or copy articles for non-commercial purposes, so long as the original authors and source are cited. No permission is required from the authors or the publishers. “

The OA option at JoVE costs $2000 per video (if it is made without the help of the JoVE video-production services) and $3000 per video, if JoVE video production services are required.

The Open Access articles are made freely available in PubMed Central and UK PubMed Central immediately after publication.

Further details are available at the JoVE site.
