The scientific publishing landscape is a difficult landmine to navigate, but thankfully there are some great initiatives such as the Read & Publish Open Access initiative from The Company of Biologist (a not-for-profit publisher) which gives us some hope for the future of scientific publishing! Thanks to this agreement, researchers and people around the world who are curious about penguins can have a look at our study in Journal of Experimental Biology without having to pay for it, which would have otherwise been impossible on our tight research budget.
