Over 1,000 institutions in 54 countries (see below) are participating in our Read & Publish Open Access initiative.
Fee-free Open Access publishing for corresponding authors: Depending on whether their institution has chosen a three- or five-journal package, corresponding authors can publish an uncapped number of Open Access research articles in our journals as follows, without paying an article processing charge (APC).
Unlimited access to journals and their archives: Unlimited access to our three transformative journals – Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology – and their archives dating back to 1853 is available to all institutions listed below.
Five journal package: our transformative journals (Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology) plus our fully Open Access journals (Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open)
Three journal package: our transformative journals (Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology)
We are also piloting variations of our standard Read & Publish model with the Max Planck Digital Library and the University of California.
Fee-free Open Access publishing for corresponding authors in developing and transition economy countries: Following our Read & Publish agreement with Electronic Information for Libraries (EIFL), corresponding authors in 33 countries can publish accepted research articles Open Access without paying an article processing charge (APC).
