Renewal of the Read & Publish Open Access agreement with the Max Planck Digital Library
We are delighted to have renewed our Read & Publish agreement with the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) for a further term.
This agreement, which runs from 1 January 2024 until 31 December 2026, extends opportunities for researchers at 86 Max Planck Society Institutes to benefit from publishing:
- Open Access research articles in our hybrid journals, Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology, and our two fully Open Access journals – Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open – without paying an article processing charge (APC)
- Unlimited access to the journals including the full archive dating back to 1853.
