EDP Sciences decides against Open Access transition under S2O for Radioprotection in 2023

Paris, France, 18 May 2023: EDP Sciences and the Société Française de Radioprotection (SFRP) announced today that they have decided against transitioning Radioprotection to open access under Subscribe to Open (S2O) in 2023. Despite concerted efforts to promote the initiative and reach the required subscription threshold, the financial viability of the transition was not achieved at this time. This decision underscores the reality that open access for S2O journals is not guaranteed unless subscriptions are renewed.

Despite extending the assessment window, the required subscriptions for Radioprotection were not received and, with regret, the decision has been made to keep the content only accessible to subscribers. Radioprotection will, therefore, remain under subscriber-only access in 2023.
