Overview

Humanities, social sciences, science and technology

Taylor & Francis publishes journals for both specialist and interdisciplinary readers. The group’s editorial policies apply across its journals, with additional requirements where a learned society or association owns a title. That makes the journal’s own aims, scope and author instructions essential companions to the group guidance.

Editorial policies

Its open-access cost finder covers Taylor & Francis, Routledge and Dove Press journals, while directing authors to separate pricing pages for other platforms. It distinguishes full open access and Open Select options. Check the exact journal and publishing route before treating an institutional agreement or quoted APC as applicable.

The assessment

What the rating tells you.

Read our methodology

Safe & Trusted

The publisher is classified as Safe & Trusted in our directory. This is a positive publisher-level assessment. The next step is to confirm that the particular journal meets your research, funding and institutional requirements.

How the assessment is formed

Our evaluation framework considers peer review, editorial credibility, transparency, publishing ethics, indexing and researcher feedback. The overall rating and category are recorded here; a criterion-by-criterion score breakdown is not included in this record.

A rating is not a guarantee of a journal’s suitability or of a particular publication outcome. Check policies at the journal level and confirm claims at their source.

Assessment areaWhat to look forPublisher policies and sources

Editorial accountability

Named editors, relevant affiliations and a clear way to contact the editorial office.

The editor has responsibility for acceptance or rejection. Society-owned journals can add requirements to the group’s editorial policies.Editorial responsibilities

Peer review

A documented review model, reviewer selection and a process for editorial decisions.

Journals state their own review model. The group normally requires at least two independent reviewers for research articles and describes anonymous, open and Registered Report approaches.Peer-review policy

Indexing and discoverability

The exact journal title and ISSN in the index itself; coverage dates and current status.

Check the exact journal title, ISSN and coverage dates in the database required by your institution. Inclusion of one title does not establish coverage for the publisher’s other journals.Publisher journal catalogue How to verify indexing

Fees and business model

A complete fee schedule, payment timing, waivers and any additional publication charges.

Use the current OA cost finder for the journal and route. Check the instructions for additional fees, including any submission or optional production charges.Open-access cost finder Submission-fee guidance

Copyright and licensing

The publishing agreement, author rights and a licence that meets your funder’s requirements.

OA authors retain copyright and grant publication rights under an agreement. Subscription articles typically use copyright assignment, with retained author rights and possible exceptions.Copyright and Creative Commons licences

Ethics and corrections

Policies on authorship, competing interests, misconduct, appeals, corrections and retractions.

The group provides policies for complaints, appeals, research misconduct and corrections. An appeal needs evidence addressing the decision, not simply dissatisfaction with it.Ethics and appeals policies

Digital preservation

A named preservation service and a clear long-term access policy.

Portico has a publisher record with linked journal holdings. Check the exact title and the content received or committed there; publisher participation alone does not establish complete coverage of every journal and year.Publisher record and holdings at Portico
