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 from around the world had to say:

“Working in a resource-limited environment, Open Access costs are often a major factor limiting the options for publishing our work. The Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and my institution made this a non-issue, enabling us to present valuable scientific results to the widest possible audience in a timely and worry-free fashion.”
Stuart Lucas, Sabanci University, Turkey

“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

“The whole process of publishing with The Company of Biologists in Journal of Experimental Biology was smooth and quick, and I was very happy to discover that Lund University was part of its Read & Publish agreement. Publication fees can be a considerable constraint, especially for early-career researchers like me, so it’s great that there are agreements, such as this one, that allow us to share our work freely with the scientific community. I was also excited to learn that a tree has been planted for our paper, such a great initiative!”
Clara D’Autilia, Lund University, Sweden

“Publishing in Development was a wonderful experience. We are especially grateful that the Read & Publish agreement with Johns Hopkins University enabled us to publish Open Access free of charge. The agreement is an important investment in open science, and I hope similar partnerships become more common across scholarly publishing.”
Erika Matunis, Johns Hopkins University, USA
