I and my lab have greatly benefited from the Read & Publish agreement that The Company of Biologists has with our University in Linköping. It alleviates the increased yet inevitable costs for Open Access publishing, which for me is a fundamental, non-negotiable factor. The Company of Biologists is a force of good in this world, promoting transparent knowledge, providing fair and professional peer reviewing, and now impacting ecosystems by literally planting trees—what an incredible initiative. I wonder why scientists would wish to publish in other journals! Thank you!
