Webinar: Publishing with The Company of Biologists: supporting biologists, inspiring biology

The Company of Biologists is a not-for-profit publisher that publishes five journals: Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open. Through our Read & Publish agreements with universities and institutes, we offer authors the possibility of publishing in our journals at no cost to individual researchers.

In this webinar, Katherine Brown, Publishing Director of The Company of Biologists, and Craig Franklin, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Experimental Biology, will introduce the organisation, its journals and its charitable activities, and explain what distinguishes the Company and its community-centric approach from many other publishers – and how this can benefit you as an author and reader. They will also provide an overview of some recent initiatives aimed at supporting researchers and improving the publishing process.
