Dove Medical Press is an academic publisher of open access peer-reviewed scientific and medical journals, with offices in Macclesfield, London (United Kingdom), Princeton, New Jersey (United States), and Auckland (New Zealand).[1] In September 2017, Dove Medical Press was acquired by the Taylor and Francis Group.[2][3]
As an open access publisher, Dove charges a publication fee to authors or their institutions or funders. This charge allows Dove to recover its editorial and production costs and to create a pool of funds that can be used to provide fee waivers for authors from lesser developed countries.[4] Articles published are available via an interface following the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, a set of uniform standards promulgated by the Open Archives Initiative allowing metadata on archive holdings.[5]
Dove is a member of the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers, the Committee on Publication Ethics, and the Open Archives Initiative.[6] As of March 2019[update], it published a total of 135 journals, although 43 have now ceased publication.[7] In 2012, the company was included on Beall's list of predatory open access publishers,[8] was later removed,[9] but was again included in this list in 2015.[10]
Although Dove Press was on the list in 2012, it has since been removed.
