Cambridge University Press has made 15 of its journals open access. Contributors will be able to have their paper made freely available online as soon as it is accepted for publication.
Authors, their institution or funding body, will have to pay a [pounds sterling]1,500 fee to cover costs.
Gavin Swanson, STM editor-in-chief at Cambridge Journals, said the fee reflected the real costs of online publication.
He said: "Responses to the fees range from the expected complaint that they are too high for individuals to pay, to growing acknowledgement that they are realistic and reflect what it does in fact cost to publish a paper."
