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.
Thanks to our Read & Publish agreement, we were able to make our research freely available to the global scientific community without any article processing charges. It’s a great way to make research more accessible to everyone!
Publishing Open Access without fees under the Read & Publish agreement was a great opportunity. It made the process smooth and accessible, allowing our research to reach a broader audience without financial barriers. I really appreciate the commitment to equitable science communication.
One of the best Read & Publish agreements maintained by the library at the University of Seville is with The Company of Biologists.
Publication with the Read & Publish agreement helped to free up budget for the project allowing us to focus on experiments instead of balancing budgets.
Open Access greatly helps our paper reach a broader scientific and general audience. We are glad and grateful that the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and our institution covers our Open Access publication cost. This publisher remains a preferred platform for us to publish our work.
Like many others I love the idea of publishing Open Access but find it prohibitively expensive in most cases. The Read & Publish agreement with my university made publishing Open Access in Development free and seamless. I really appreciate the work that The Company of Biologists does in setting up these agreements. Also, glad to have another tree planted in The Forest of Biologists!
I was delighted to learn that my university had a Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists. The lead author on this publication in Development is my graduate student, Caroline Halmi, and I was thrilled that we could immediately share the fruits of her tireless experimentation and efforts with the rest of the scientific community. This agreement ensured that lab funds could be allocated to the science, and not to publication costs. I look forward to publishing our next paper in another high-impact journal from The Company of Biologists, taking advantage of the ability to seamlessly communicate our science with the world. And thank you also for this wonderful initiative of planting a tree – I love this concept!
Publishing Open Access with DMM was easy to do and really important for the way that we as scientists and our funder, the MNDA, want to communicate our work.
We are delighted that our paper will be Open Access to anyone in the world thanks to the Read & Publish agreement between JEB and Tel Aviv University.
