To celebrate International Open Access Week 2020 (19-25 October), we have updated our collection of Open Access articles on microscopy. The articles come from the five journals of The Company of Biologists: Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open and of course, they are all free to read and share.
Many events are organised during International Open Access week, stimulating discussion on open knowledge and connecting like-minded people and organisations that are all working towards greater accessibility of research and highlighting important work in this area which is being done all year round. We find ourselves in an exciting transitional time. At The Company of Biologists, we encourage authors to make use of our Open Access options, recognising the benefits for all involved, be it authors, readers or the wider scientific community.
We hope you enjoy our Microscopy Open Access collection.
