Thanks to the Read & Publish Open Access agreement between The University of Adelaide and The Company of Biologists, publishing my PhD research in Disease Models & Mechanisms was seamless. The process was smooth, with clear communication at every stage, and the agreement allowed me to publish without fees, making my work freely accessible to a global audience. I’m grateful for this initiative, which promotes wider scientific communication and knowledge sharing.
The Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and Western University allowed me to publish my research Open Access free of charge. Agreements such as this are extremely helpful for graduate students like myself to get work into excellent journals without worrying about the cost of publishing. I’m thankful for this agreement and encourage other journals to do the same!
Open science is key for our collective knowledge. I find this Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and Karolinska Institutet very valuable for this endeavour. Thanks to this collaboration, our paper in Journal of Cell Science can reach a wider audience.
I am delighted that USC’s participation in The Company of Biologists’ Open Access agreement enables the broadest, immediate access to our recent publications in Development.
I’m thrilled that the University of California has renewed its transformative Open Access agreement with The Company of Biologists, a mission-driven, community-led publisher that shares UC’s goal of making the scholarly publishing landscape more open. I was a member of the team that negotiated the first Open Access agreement between UC and The Company of Biologists. I have been an author with The Company of Biologists for more than 20 years, and since the start of UC’s partnership with the Company in 2021, UC authors have published more than 85 Open Access articles in its journals, increasing the visibility and impact of their research. I hope that even more UC authors will take advantage of this renewed agreement and make their scholarship freely available to researchers and anyone else around the world by publishing Open Access in The Company of Biologists’ journals.
I am grateful for the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and Imperial College London. The entire publication process was very straightforward. Transparent and open-access publication are very important, and without this agreement, I could not afford to publish my paper in this format. I am really delighted that Development offers this option.
Knowing that I would have the opportunity to publish Open Access for free in Journal of Experimental Biology made an easy decision of where to submit my manuscript. I am so happy that my article will be more accessible and thus reach a wider audience, because I would not have had the funds for Open Access without this program.
I was delighted to discover that Disease Models & Mechanisms is part of a Read & Publish agreement with the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC). This arrangement not only streamlined the publishing process but also made it free of charge for authors, ensuring that top-tier research can be published in leading journals without financial barriers. I hope more publishers will follow the forward-thinking example set by The Company of Biologists.
This Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and the University of California provides an important avenue for disseminating research to everyone interested, without consideration of financial details. The agreement is especially critical for someone like me who, as an Emeritus Professor, no longer maintains significant extramural support yet still performs meaningful work. Thanks so much for helping level the playing field and better democratizing the publication process. Science is for all.
Researchers from IISERs are very keen to publish articles in an Open Access model, without any financial burden. The agreement between the IISER Library Consortium and The Company of Biologists will boost the publications from the participating IISERs.
