It is fantastic to have my final chapter of my PhD published in Journal of Experimental Biology. Additionally, this is my second manuscript to be published for no cost with immediate Open Access as a result of the Read & Publish agreement between the University of Akron and The Company of Biologists. The entire publishing process went smoothly, and this article was also chosen to be featured in their 100 years of research ECR spotlight.
As an early career scientist, it can’t be overstated how important it is to publish Open Access to increase the visibility of your work.
