    Open Access is crucial to make research available to everyone, anytime. Knowing that the Technische Universität Dresden, through its state library (SLUB), was part of the Read & Publish Open Access initiative made our choice of journal a lot easier, especially when this agreement comprises high-quality journals such as Disease Models & Mechanisms. Not having to use valuable funding for an APC was a welcome change and will encourage me to publish again in journals from The Company of Biologists. I hope this paves the way for other publishers to join similar agreements so that science can become more inclusive and equitable!
