The Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine is switching its publication model to open access

"The new year of 2026 marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine. In cooperation with the editors, the publisher will convert the journal to Diamond Open Access in accordance with the Subscribe to Open (S2O) model, on a year-by-year basis.

Starting in 2026, all articles will immediately appear under the Creative Commons license CC-BY at no publication costs for the authors. The open access transformation is based on an alternative, sustainable, and equitable approach to transitioning subscription-based journals one year at a time, through the continuation of existing subscriptions. The prerequisite for successful transformation is that subscriptions are continued to the same extent as before. The editors of the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine and the publisher De Gruyter Brill would, therefore, like to thank all subscribers for their support."
