Academic Journals

On 2 April 2020, we introduced a zero-rate tariff for low circulation, editorial uses in academic journals. To qualify for this zero-rate, the journal must meet all of the following eligible criteria:

  • The request is from an established UK-based academic
  • The work will only be included in an academic journal with a circulation less than 4,000
  • The journal article will be based on peer-reviewed, original research
  • The request must be for editorial use only, with no changes to the image

If the above criteria is met for the academic journal, then no fee will be charged for up to 5 works.

Please submit your request (including the journal ISSN) here
