Supporting our diverse author community
Diversity is important in all fields, be it scientific research, farming or society as a whole. It widens perspectives, creates greater resilience and brings original ideas to the table. We enhance greater diversity in publishing by:
Supporting early career researchers
We recognise the challenges faced by early career researchers, and have plenty of guidance for first-time authors and reviewers.
Name change policy
Our name change policy allows authors to change their name on previously published research, enabling them to be represented the way they identify.
Support & Grants
The Institute of Physics offers funding in the form of grants, awards and exchange schemes, plus a scholarship fund to support graduates from under-represented groups.
Supporting authors with the cost of OA
We offer a range of discounts and waivers to help authors with the costs of open access publishing.
