Liverpool University Press Open Planning Subscribe to Open Journals










Liverpool University Press (LUP) has adopted the Subscribe to Open model that will transition two of their journals to open access.


What is Subscribe to Open?

Subscribe to Open (S2O) is a subscription model that allows publishers to convert content from gated access to Open Access (OA). Under S2O, institutions subscribe to the content. If financial support is sufficient, content for that subscription year is published OA under a Creative Commons license; if support is insufficient, the paywall is retained and only those that subscribed have access to the new content.


Liverpool University Press Open Planning Journals

International Development Planning Review (IDPR) provides an interdisciplinary platform for the critical study of development-related practices, planning, and policy in the global South.

Town Planning Review (TPR) is the world's oldest planning journal. It publishes a diversity of research approaches that contribute to the advancement of town and regional planning research in highly developed economies and in emerging industrial states.


Benefits to Subscribing to Liverpool University Press Open Planning journals:

Subscribing to IDPR or TPR will not only support open access for current year content, but it will also give subscribing institutions exclusive gated access to TPR issues going back to 1910 and IDPR issues going back to 1979.

  • Content for that subscription year only (2023) will be OA for all to read under a CC-BY licence
  • Term access of the full archives of IDPR and TPR will be available only to subscribers:
    • IDPR – full access to volumes 24-43 (2002-2022) of IDPR and volumes 1-23 (1979-2001) of Third World Planning Review (previous name for IDPR)
    • TPR – full access to volumes 1-92 (1910-2022) (110 years of the world’s oldest planning journal archives) This access is dependent on the subscription being active (will be cancelled on termination of subscription)
