If that is the case, you can still publish your manuscript as open access in the journal if your paper is accepted before June 2020, or have the option to withdraw your submission from Journal of Public Economics and resubmit to PubEc its Gold Open Access spin-off journal Journal of Public Economics Plus at any stage in the editorial process, prior to acceptance, to ensure that we continue to offer you all the options that were available to you when you originally submitted.
