91传媒 Libraries signs open access publishing agreement for university academic researchers
91传媒 researchers can now publish unlimited open access research articles鈥攚ithout any current academic author fees鈥攊n five top scholarly journals supporting life sciences.
The expanded access is thanks to a new 91传媒 Libraries licensing partnership agreement with The Company of Biologists, according to Associate Dean of Collection Management and Strategy Raymond Uzwyshyn.
91传媒 Libraries recently signed the agreement which will allow open access publishing in Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms, and Biology Open.
Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Acquisitions and Collection Development Cathy Austin said, 鈥淭his means that 91传媒 faculty researchers can publish an uncapped number of open access research articles in these journals without paying an article processing charge.鈥
鈥淭his is great since it will provide free scholarly open access publications for other researchers at no cost to 91传媒 authors,鈥 Austin added.
The agreement also provides 91传媒 scholars and researchers unlimited access to the journals and their archives. For more information, please contact Austin at caustin@library.msstate.edu.
