MSU Library’s Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists will further advance open access research and scholarship at MSU. This is important because it means the work of MSU-affiliated authors who are publishing in their journals will be available to a larger audience because it is not behind the barrier of an online paywall.
We are delighted to publish our paper in Development immediately Open Access under the Read & Publish agreement with the Max Planck Institutes. Such agreements allow immediate dissemination of our science without fees and provide a good publishing model.
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.
“We are delighted to publish in Biology Open under the Read & Publish agreement with University of Southern Denmark. This is helping us spreading our research to as many scientists as possible. The review process helped us to sharpen our arguments in the manuscript and improve illustrations. Biology Open is a high quality journal which I can strongly recommend, both for reading and for publishing”
We are thrilled to publish under the Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists and the University of California, Santa Barbara. This extremely valuable service provides open access to our paper at no cost! This initiative is a crucially important step towards freeing science from the paywall. We hope the other journals will soon follow suit of The Company of Biologists.
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
