Christian Schröter, Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology, Germany

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.
