Frequently asked questions

Which journals publish the most Royal Society funded research?

In the recent research articles we checked, the journals that name Royal Society as a funder most often are Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters, RAS Techniques and Instruments, Journal of Anatomy, Organic Geochemistry, Palaeontology. In all, 19 journals name it.

Does publishing in these journals help my Royal Society grant?

These journals already publish work supported by Royal Society, so editors and reviewers know this kind of research. Whether a journal suits your paper still depends on its scope, indexing and review time, shown for each journal in the table.

Does Royal Society pay the article processing charge (APC)?

Many funders pay or reimburse open access fees under their open access policy, but the rules differ by funder and by grant. Check Royal Society's open access policy and your grant terms; for country-based waivers, use the free APC waiver checker.

How is this counted?

For each journal, ScholarsColab looked at up to 200 research articles from the last 24 months and counted the funders they name. Not every article lists its funders, so a journal can be missing.
