I am pleased that our university’s Read & Publish agreement allowed us to publish our recent work in Journal of Experimental Biology as Open Access. This ensures that our research is freely available to both the scientific community and the general public, without being behind a paywall. The process of arranging Open Access publication was straightforward, thanks to the efficient coordination between the journal and the University of Rostock. Thank you!
Making the article available to the community as Open Access is excellent as it tremendously increases visibility. I strongly support the Open Access movement, and also appreciate the hazel tree, planted on behalf of my article in The Forest of Biologists, which supports many insects and provides shelter for ground-nesting birds.
Open Access greatly helps our paper reach a broader scientific and general audience. We are glad and grateful that the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and our institution covers our Open Access publication cost. This publisher remains a preferred platform for us to publish our work.
Like many others I love the idea of publishing Open Access but find it prohibitively expensive in most cases. The Read & Publish agreement with my university made publishing Open Access in Development free and seamless. I really appreciate the work that The Company of Biologists does in setting up these agreements. Also, glad to have another tree planted in The Forest of Biologists!
I was delighted to learn that my university had a Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists. The lead author on this publication in Development is my graduate student, Caroline Halmi, and I was thrilled that we could immediately share the fruits of her tireless experimentation and efforts with the rest of the scientific community. This agreement ensured that lab funds could be allocated to the science, and not to publication costs. I look forward to publishing our next paper in another high-impact journal from The Company of Biologists, taking advantage of the ability to seamlessly communicate our science with the world. And thank you also for this wonderful initiative of planting a tree – I love this concept!
This is the second time I have published Open Access in Journal of Experimental Biology through the Read & Publish agreement with Brock University. I strongly believe that publishing Open Access helps our research reach a broader audience. This is a relevant opportunity for researchers with limited funding, and only one of the ways through which The Company of Biologists supports early-career researchers. Journal of Experimental Biology also offers immense support through ECR Spotlights, as well as research highlights such as Inside JEB. They also planted a tree in The Forest of Biologists on behalf of my paper, meaning that they are invested in conservation to boot.
This was my first paper published in Journal of Cell Science, and it was an outright positive experience. The transfer of the manuscript from Review Commons worked smoothly, and the editorial assessment was open and fair. Having moved institutions in the middle of the publishing process, I was particularly happy that also my new institution, Leiden University, has a Read & Publish agreement with the journal in place, allowing us to make our article freely available immediately. I am a big fan of publishing with The Company of Biologists, having benefited from the community support by the Company myself several times.
Thanks to our Read & Publish agreement, we were able to make our research freely available to the global scientific community without any article processing charges. It’s a great way to make research more accessible to everyone!
Publishing Open Access without fees under the Read & Publish agreement was a great opportunity. It made the process smooth and accessible, allowing our research to reach a broader audience without financial barriers. I really appreciate the commitment to equitable science communication.
One of the best Read & Publish agreements maintained by the library at the University of Seville is with The Company of Biologists.
