1,000 institutions in 53 countries (see below) are participating in our Read & Publish Open Access initiative.
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.
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).
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).
