Read & Publish agreement with CAUL: what authors at participating institutions say
See below for some of the great feedback we have received from authors at institutions participating in our Read & Publish agreement with CAUL.
Arthur Smith, CAUL, Australia
"CAUL is pleased to continue our Read & Publish Open Access agreement with The Company of Biologists. Uncapped agreements provide certainty to authors that their articles will be published Open Access, streamlines processes for institutions, and reflects a mature relationship between libraries and publisher. CAUL is committed to the ongoing transition of scholarly communication, and agreements like this play a pivotal role in delivering on the promise of Open Access."
Kavita Panir, The University of Adelaide, Australia
"Thanks to the Read & Publish Open Access agreement between The University of Adelaide and The Company of Biologists, publishing my PhD research in Disease Models & Mechanisms was seamless. The process was smooth, with clear communication at every stage, and the agreement allowed me to publish without fees, making my work freely accessible to a global audience. I'm grateful for this initiative, which promotes wider scientific communication and knowledge sharing."
Melanie Rug, The Australian National University, Australia
"Publishing our recent paper in Journal of Cell Science was a delightful experience. Not only was the process quick, easy and well supported, it also allowed immediate Open Access without paying an article processing charge (APC). Fabulous to see that contributions to the research community are rewarded by The Company of Biologists instead of contributors being punished by ever increasing publishing fees. And our tree in The Forest of Biologists! What a wonderful initiative, yet another reason to publish in JCS."
Andrew Cox, The University of Melbourne, Australia
Andrew Cox, The University of Melbourne, Australia
"We were delighted to find that we could publish in Development as an Open Access fee-free article thanks to the Read & Publish agreement with The University of Melbourne. This is a terrific initiative that supports the scientific community and saves valuable research dollars. There is no doubt that this program will encourage us to consider submitting our future work to The Company of Biologists’ journals."
"I was very happily surprised, and delighted, to find that we could publish our recent article in Development as fee-free Open Access via the Read & Publish agreement with La Trobe University. The speed with which my article was available to read by the scientific community after acceptance was very impressive, and allowed for extremely rapid dissemination. A wonderful initiative."
Jake Baum, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
"It was a huge relief to be able to publish our article Open Access in Disease Models & Mechanisms without charge and I wish all publishing was this straightforward. Institutions need to realise Read & Publish is a win-win situation - researchers are supported to publish in high quality journals that everyone will read, rather than seeking the cheapest and sometimes least reliable option with the work often going unseen."
Katharine Irvine, The University of Queensland, Australia
"The Read & Publish agreement initiative is a great advance enabling open access to research. The agreement between The Company of Biologists and The University of Queensland made it simple to publish Open Access quickly and fee-free; a great incentive to publish in their suite of journals"
"Thanks to the Read & Publish Open Access Initiative, we had the opportunity to publish our work Open Access without worrying about the Open Access fee. We really appreciate it as it makes our research findings available to the public, and we can easily share our work with any interested parties."
