New Journal of Physics (NJP) is completely free to read and is funded solely by article publication charges. The full-rate article charge for 2012 is £900 (EUR990, US$1440) (independent of article length). We send invoices for payment after articles are accepted for publication and you should send your payment to IOP Publishing Ltd. Discounts are available as follows:

• Members of the Institute of Physics and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft pay £675 (EUR745; US$1080).
• Members of NJP Associate Members pay £850 (EUR935; US$1360).
• NJP referees can qualify for a discount of £100 for each article that they referee. The qualifying criteria for referees to be eligible for this discount can be found in the referee guidelines.
• The Max Planck Society will pay the article charge centrally for all authors affiliated to a Max Planck institute who submit to NJP before 31 December 2011. See the press release announcement.
• Goettingen University Library will pay the article charge centrally for all authors affiliated to Goettingen University who submit to NJP before 31 December 2011. Further information about this agreement is available on the Goettingen University webpage.
• Through the support of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) we are pleased to be able to waive the article charge for authors based in the 64 countries as identified by The World Bank for support as part of their International Development Association (IDA).
• The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will cover 50% of the article charge for any article submitted before 30 April 2012 for which the first or corresponding author is affiliated to any one of the CAS member institutes.
• The Helmholtz Association is entitled to pay a discounted article fee for all authors affiliated to any of its member institutes who submit to NJP.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC) in the UK, and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinshaft (DFG) in Germany have agreed that the NJP publication fee may be applied for in their grants.

A number of institutions have now signed the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity as a commitment to 'the timely establishment of durable mechanisms for underwriting reasonable publication charges for articles written by its faculty and published in fee-based open-access journals and for which other institutions would not be expected to provide funds.' The following institutions run specific schemes to cover all or part of the cost of publishing in NJP:

Canada

Germany

Spain

UK

USA

If your institution runs a similar scheme and you would like to have it added to this list please contact the journal at njp@iop.org.
