Free open-access publishing – Are you eligible?
Bioscientifica is committed to making the research published in its journals accessible to the widest possible audience. We’ve introduced a ‘Read and Publish’ agreement as an alternative to the traditional subscription model.
Why choose a read and publish agreement?
Transparent and cost-neutral pricing.
Easy to administer: one annual fee covers both usage and publishing.
Helps your institution to meet funding requirements, and to make open access the default publishing choice.
Corresponding authors at participating institutions are eligible for free open access publishing, as well as access to all current content in our three hybrid journals.
