HEX goes Open Access

"Welcome to this edition of HEX [Health Expectations]. Our main news is that, as you might have seen on our website, we have taken the decision to convert Health Expectations to a fully open access journal from 2016. In doing so, HEX will join the Wiley Open Access portfolio (http://www.wileyopenaccess.com) and will benefit from a number of advantages that confers. We made this decision because we all want HEX to continue to publish the very best papers in the field, and we believe that authors will welcome the open access model.

The great advantage of open access is that everyone will be able to read the journal irrespective of specialty, host institution or location. The Article Publication Charge ensures free access to the final published article indefinitely on Wiley Online Library as well as on PubMed Central offering a much wider reach for the research. Authors also get to retain the copyright for their articles...."
