What is the cost of knowledge?
Posted by Emily Dearlove, on 23 October 2026
To mark International Open Access Week 2026, The Company of Biologists has been reflecting on this year’s theme: ‘The Cost of Knowledge’.
In our latest blog post, ‘The true cost of knowledge: exploring value in publishing‘, we reflect on what researchers value in publishing and who bears the cost of creating that value. We also discuss how, through initiatives like Biology Open’s Fast & Fair peer review, we are continuing to innovate to improve the author experience.
To read the full story and other similar stories about our journal and charitable initiatives, you can visit The Company of Biologists website.
