As a scientist, I firmly support open access publishing because it not only allows everyone to access and read scientific work but also enables replication and transparency in research. I am deeply grateful to the Journal of Experimental Biology for its fee-free open access option, which is essential for researchers with limited funding. Coming from Latin America and studying at a Latin American institution, this was crucial in helping my latest publication reach a wider audience. I would also like to thank the journal for its careful and detailed review process and for selecting my paper for the ECR Spotlight. I strongly believe that science must be shared with a broader public, and initiatives like this help make that possible.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to publish our research fee-free and Open Access in Biology Open through my institution’s Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists. As an early-career researcher, such initiatives are invaluable as it makes scientific publishing more accessible by removing financial hurdles and broadening the reach of our work. I also appreciate The Forest of Biologists initiative for its thoughtful commitment to planting a tree for every article published, supporting environmental sustainability alongside promoting open science
We are delighted that our paper was published in Journal of Cell Science not only because we addressed a long-standing question in the CDK2/cell cycle regulation field but also because the Read & Publish agreement with Lund University facilitated
Open Access publication. We strongly believe that publishing Open Access is the best way to give back to society
The fee-free Open Access option is a huge bonus of publishing with Journal of Cell Science, enabling the wider reach of our research.
We are grateful to have published our article on the conserved role for the nucleolar protein NOC1 in rRNA processing and tumorigenesis, under the fee-free Open Access option enabled by the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and the University of Trento. This agreement has facilitated unrestricted access to our work, supporting the broad dissemination of our findings within the scientific community.
Yale’s Read and Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists made complying with NIH’s open access policy easy and free of charge for my lab. Non-profit publishers like The Company of Biologists provide a great service to science and society.
We are grateful to The Company of Biologists for publishing our article on behaviours reminiscent of orientation flights in Heliconiini butterflies in Journal of Experimental Biology. As an early-career researcher, I am very pleased by the Open Access publication. University of Bristol has a Read & Publish agreement which facilitates the publication process and allows us to share our findings with a wide audience without financial barriers. We are excited with the opportunity of sharing our science with everyone.
I have been a reader and fan of Journal of Cell Science since my graduate studies and I value the high quality offered by the journal at all levels, from rigorous peer review to Open Access publication. I am very pleased that The Company of Biologists and the University of Gothenburg have a Read & Publish agreement as this greatly facilitates the publication process and allows us to share our findings with a wide audience without affecting our research budget.
Discovering that Journal of Cell Science is included in The Company of Biologists’ Read and Publish agreement with the University of Groningen was one of the many pleasures of publishing with them. I am continually impressed by the Company’s commitment to promoting Open Access publishing.
Open Access is the right thing for science, and it’s so much easier to do the right thing when it’s free! I’m grateful to the Company of Biologists and Columbia University for absorbing the cost of open access publishing through Read & Publish agreement, effectively expanding the reach and accessibility of this exciting work by postdoc Lisa Calvary and PhD student Panos Oikonomou from the lab.
