d. Authors may post a link on a personal website that directs readers to the article on The Journal of Nutrition website
(http://jn.nutrition.org); full text of the final, published article cannot be posted on personal or institutional websites or
repositories that are accessible to the public.
ASN Policy on Open Access Publications
a. It is the responsibility of authors to inform ASN of any open access publication requirements of funding sources
pertaining to manuscripts at the time of submission.
b. As owner of the copyright to all manuscripts published in JN, ASN will deposit the final version of accepted
manuscripts to PubMed Central (PMC) on behalf of authors who received NIH funding for the research reported in the
manuscript, and ASN will allow free access to the final manuscript files via the PMC repository 12 months after
publication. A nominal fee will be assessed by ASN for this service: $20 when the corresponding author is an ASN
member; $45 when the corresponding author is not an ASN member. This fulfills NIH Public Access Policy
requirements for peer-reviewed journal manuscripts arising from NIH funds to be publicly accessible in the digital
archive PMC no later than 12 months after publication.
c. Authors with funding requirements that require immediate open access publication (e.g., Wellcome Trust) may pay a
free access fee, and ASN will deposit manuscript files to the PMC repository and make the article freely accessible
immediately via the PMC repository and via the journal website. The free access fee is $3000 per article and is charged
in addition to other author charges (page charges, color reproduction charges, author alteration charges, and charges
for reprint orders). Authors should complete the Free Access Choice form upon submission or upon acceptance to
provide billing information.
d. Other authors wishing immediate open access publication may also select the free access publication option. Upon
acceptance of an article, authors interested in the free access publication option will be instructed to download the Free
Access Choice Form to provide article and billing information. ASN will make the article freely accessible
immediately upon publication via the journal website. Files will not be deposited in the PMC repository on behalf of
the authors.
Author Fees
Authors will be billed for the following items: color reproduction costs ($400/figure for regular and ASN EB
symposium manuscripts; $800 per published page of color for supplement manuscripts); author alterations to
manuscript proofs; reprints; and page charges. The following page charges will be assessed: ASN members: $85/page
for the first seven pages, $120/page for pages eight and above; non-members, $125/page for the first seven pages,
$150/page for pages eight and above. Page charges will be waived when a manuscript is included in the proceedings of
an approved ASN EB annual meeting symposium, unless the manuscript exceeds the length allowed. Supplement
manuscript page charges, which are billed at a different rate, will be charged to the supplement sponsor. For
information on waivers of page charges, please consult The Journal of Nutrition Information for Authors
(http://jn.nutrition.org/site/misc/ifora.xhtml).
A complete copyright form must include pages 1 – 3 and the author signature page(s). The complete form may be emailed to
