Author feedback

We believe that our Read & Publish agreements offer many benefits for both researchers and institutes. But don’t just take our word for it. Here is what some of your peers had to say:

“Open Access provides the opportunity for your research to reach a broader audience and therefore have greater impact. However, as an early-career researcher, the fees associated with unlocking such reach is quite high. I am very appreciative for The University of Queensland’s Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists for taking the financial burden off my shoulders to maximise my research’s impact within my field and beyond.”
Adam Downie, The University of Queensland, Australia

“Thanks to the Read & Publish Open Access agreement between The University of Adelaide and The Company of Biologists, publishing my PhD research in Disease Models & Mechanisms was seamless. The process was smooth, with clear communication at every stage, and the agreement allowed me to publish without fees, making my work freely accessible to a global audience. I’m grateful for this initiative, which promotes wider scientific communication and knowledge sharing.”
Kavita Panir, The University of Adelaide, Australia

“Publishing our recent paper in Journal of Cell Science was a delightful experience. Not only was the process quick, easy and well supported, it also allowed immediate Open Access without paying an article processing charge (APC). Fabulous to see that contributions to the research community are rewarded by The Company of Biologists instead of contributors being punished by ever increasing publishing fees. And our tree in The Forest of Biologists! What a wonderful initiative, yet another reason to publish in JCS.”
Melanie Rug, The Australian National University, Australia

“We were delighted to find that we could publish in Development as an Open Access fee-free article thanks to the Read & Publish agreement with The University of Melbourne. This is a terrific initiative that supports the scientific community and saves valuable research dollars. There is no doubt that this program will encourage us to consider submitting our future work to The Company of Biologists’ journals.”
Andrew Cox, The University of Melbourne, Australia
