We are delighted to announce that all articles accepted for publication in the 2025 volume of the International Review of the Red Cross will be ‘open access’; published with a Creative Commons licence and freely available to read online (see the journal’s Open Access Options page for available licence options). We have an OA option for every author: the costs of open access publication will be covered through agreements between the publisher and the author’s institution, payment of APCs from grant or other funds, or else waived entirely, ensuring every author can publish and enjoy the benefits of OA.
Please see the journal's Open Access Options page for instructions on how to request an APC waiver.
