We look forward to working with The Company of Biologists to help speed the transition of their hybrid journals to fully open access publications. The University of Arizona Libraries supports not only increasing the open access publication options of our university community but also accelerating the long-term transformation of the scholarly publication ecosystem.
We see transformative agreements as cost-effective steps towards the goal of achieving 100% Open Access to all scholarly publications.
At the University of St Andrews we have long supported Open Access to research publications, and in recent years a large part of that support involves signing up to innovative and transitional open access deals which meet the needs of our researchers and the wider community.
By signing up to The Company of Biologists’ Read and Publish deal we are now able to increase the quantity of OA articles authored by our researchers in the biological sciences, and at the same time reduce the admin burden by simplifying the OA ordering process.

MSU Library’s Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists will further advance open access research and scholarship at MSU. This is important because it means the work of MSU-affiliated authors who are publishing in their journals will be available to a larger audience because it is not behind the barrier of an online paywall.
We are delighted to publish our paper in Development immediately Open Access under the Read & Publish agreement with the Max Planck Institutes. Such agreements allow immediate dissemination of our science without fees and provide a good publishing model.
I am delighted that our Research Article in Journal of Cell Science has become immediately available Open Access under the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. There is nothing more important than knowledge and Open Access enables new discoveries to be quickly disseminated to the global research community without barriers. The Company of Biologists was very supportive throughout the publication process.
