OPEN ACCESS POLICY SAE International offers both Gold and Green Open Access options. Articles are freely available to both subscribers and the wider public with permitted reuse for Gold Open Access. An Open Access publication fee is payable by authors or their research funder. Your publication choice will have no effect on the peer- review process or acceptance of your submission. Gold (Immediate) Open Access SAE International offers authors an option for Open Access in publishing their research. Authors who require their articles to be Open Access immediately upon publication online may pay the Article Publication Charge (APC) once they receive email notification that the article has been accepted and an invoice generated (contact: [email protected]). Authors must clearly indicate on the provided form exactly how the copyright notice should read. User Rights All articles published Gold Open Access will be permanently free for everyone to read and download. We offer authors a choice of user licenses, which define the permitted reuse of articles, according to the following options: • Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) • Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC) • Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) If an author requires a different license, please contact us at one of the emails below. Open Access Publication Fee To provide Gold Open Access, SAE’s publication fee (APC) is US$750 per article, which needs to be paid by the authors or their research funders before the article is released to production. Authors sign an exclusive license agreement, whereby authors (or their funders) retain copyright but license rights in their article to SAE International. In this case, authors have the right to: • Share their article permitted under the relevant assignment of rights, as long as the shared article contains a DOI link to the version of record on SAE International’s digital library, called Mobilus® • Retain patent, trademark, and other intellectual property rights (including research data) • Have proper attribution and credit for the published work Green (Delayed) Open Access Authors may choose a delayed Open Access (green) option by self-archiving their accepted manuscript (but not the final typeset version) in the institutional repository of their higher education employer and/or in subject-based repositories (but not posted to networking sites of a personal, institutional, or social nature), subject to a 6-month embargo period and proper credit to SAE International. For questions, please contact: [email protected] for journals and event papers and [email protected] for written-only technical papers. SAE International / December 2019 1 .
