If you’ve published an article in a journal which offers Open Access options and wish to cancel the request to publish your article under an Open Access policy, the options available to you depend on:

• How much time has elapsed since your order was processed.  
• The type of access the journal offers. To check what type of access your journal offers, you can check the full directory of Elsevier’s full Open Access journals.  If the journal you’re publishing in doesn’t appear on this list, it’s a hybrid title which means Open Access is optional. You can also check by searching for the journal and clicking through to the journal homepage, where it will state 'Supports Open Access' beneath the title if it is a Hybrid journal.
