I am delighted that our Research Article in Journal of Cell Science has become immediately available Open Access under the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. There is nothing more important than knowledge and Open Access enables new discoveries to be quickly disseminated to the global research community without barriers. The Company of Biologists was very supportive throughout the publication process.
Knowledge should be available to everyone. Therefore, I am delighted that our article is immediately available as Open Access without a publishing fee thanks to the Read & Publish agreement between the University of Edinburgh and The Company of Biologists.
We had a great experience with Biology Open and it will definitely be among our top choices for future articles.
I am delighted that our Research Article in Development has been published immediately Open Access under the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and the University of Cambridge. We are excited about our work and it’s great that we can share it so readily with the global research community. I have always found the experience of publishing In Development to be a straightforward and rewarding experience and like that the entire peer review process is transparent and available to readers of our manuscript.
The Company of Biologists has a smooth and supportive publication process and the Read & Publish agreement with my university allowed us to rapidly publish our work Open Access without paying a fee!
We were delighted that our paper was accepted in Development and doubly delighted that, thanks to the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and The University of Edinburgh, we could publish it immediately Open Access with no extra cost. It is wonderful that our research output is more accessible, thus engaging a wider range of readers. We look forward to submitting forthcoming papers under the Read & Publish agreement too!
Open Access is so important for disseminating scientific research to the global community and overcoming the barriers in knowledge accessibility. Having the Read & Publish agreement in place between The Company of Biologists and the University of Exeter really streamlined and simplified the publication process for us and meant our cutting-edge research could rapidly be shared with the world.
Our paper in Journal of Cell Science presents new open source software which we hope will be of use to a wide range of researchers. The software is freely available, so it was appropriate that the paper describing it was also freely available. The Read & Publish agreement that The Company of Biologists has with the Francis Crick Institute made this possible and streamlined the publication process. Hopefully such agreements will become standard in scientific publishing as anything that facilitates Open Access publishing and helps to disseminate research published in top journals is to be welcomed.
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
The Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and Max Planck Digital Library allows quick and easy Open Access publishing – no hoops to jump through, literally just a few clicks. With Open Access becoming a frequent and justified requirement by funders and academic institutions, such a hassle-free process is yet another incentive for submitting work to JEB.
With no article processing fees to deal with, I have never experienced such an easy and hassle-free way of publishing my article Open Access as with the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and our University. I think that this is a great model of organising Open Access publishing, which, together with the pre-printing of research articles, truly improves the climate of scientific publishing worldwide!
