We are delighted to announce that following approval by the IPA Council, a new publication agreement has been signed with Cambridge University Press for the Journal of the Association. This agreement will usher in a new era for JIPA.

JIPA, the Journal of the International Phonetic Association, is switching to fully open access. This means that all articles accepted for publication in the JIPA will be published with a Creative Commons license and are freely available to read online. Printed copies of JIPA will no longer be produced and distributed as of 2025.

The costs of open access publication will be covered through agreements between the publisher and the author’s institution, payment of APCs from grant or other funds, or else waived entirely (for IPA members), ensuring every author can publish and enjoy the benefits of OA open access.
