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!
It’s been brilliant to publish our article with fee-free Open Access under the Read & Publish agreement. It only took a couple of minutes to arrange the agreement, and now our work has increased visibility, citations, and impact. Thanks Journal of Experimental Biology!
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 was delighted to learn that our paper in Journal of Experimental Biology could be published Open Access without a fee thanks to the Read & Publish Agreement with the University of Liverpool. This is incredibly important to graduate students or those on teaching contracts like me, as it gives us the opportunity to publish in leading journals without financial barriers. Open Access is incredibly important for making research available to everyone and should be something that every organisation should strive to be part of.
We were delighted to learn that the University of Barcelona and The Company of Biologists were part of the Read & Publish agreement. The publishing process was very quick and pleasant, which we really appreciated given the current publishing challenges. We are thrilled that our article is open access in one of the most prestigious journals in and reach a broader audience.
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.
