Maximizing the utility of our work is important to us, and it strongly influences where we publish. Journals like Development, and The Company of Biologists’ journals more broadly, offer a combination we value. They are edited by active scientists, rigorously reviewed by knowledgeable peers, and available to us as fee-free open access under the University of California. That means we can publish high-quality, openly accessible science without diverting limited grant funds into publication fees, and instead put those resources back into doing the research we think matters most.
