As an open access publisher, Dove charges apublication feeto 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 theOpen Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting,a set of uniform standards promulgated by theOpen Archives Initiativeallowingmetadataon archive holdings.[5]

History
editDove Medical Press is a privately held company founded in 2003[11]by Tim Hill, a former managing director ofAdis Internationaland five other founders.[12]
As of 11 April 2013[update],42 of the 131 journals were indexed inPubMed,while 30 of the 131 journals had fewer than 10 articles.
In 2013, the Dove Medical Press journalDrug Design, Development and Therapyaccepted a false and intentionally flawed paper created and submitted by an investigative journalist forScienceas part of a "sting"to test the effectiveness of the peer-review processes of open access journals (Who's Afraid of Peer Review?). TheOpen Access Scholarly Publishers Associationterminated Dove's membership as a result of the incident.[13]After satisfying TheOpen Access Scholarly Publishers AssociationMembership Committee that new editorial and peer review procedures were in place to address the concerns raised during its investigation, Dove Medical Press was reinstated as a full member ofOpen Access Scholarly Publishers Associationin September 2015.[14]
In September 2017, Dove Medical Press was acquired by theTaylor & Francis Group.[15]
In 2022, a study re-analyzing thepredatory publisherson Beall's list found that Dove Medical Press was among the "most reputable" of 18 publishers previously labelled as predatory, which could have marked a "transition into a reputable, open access journal".[16]
