Annals of Botany is part of an optional open access model. This means that authors may chose to pay for open access publication in order to make their article freely available. However, open access publication is not a requirement for publication in these journals. Articles published open access under the Oxford Open model are made freely available online immediately upon publication using the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial licence. This means that users of articles published under the Oxford Open initiative are entitled to use, reproduce, disseminate, or display these articles provided that:

    • The original authorship is properly and fully attributed;
      * The journal and publisher are attributed as the original place of publication with correct citation details given;
      * If an original work is subsequently reproduced or disseminated not in its entirety but only in part or as a derivative work this is clearly indicated.

This policy means that users have unrestricted rights to reuse open access content for educational and research purposes but not for commercial purposes.
