Thank you Naomi Ori for sharing your experience of fee-free #OA publishing @dev_journal via our #ReadAndPublish agreement with @HebrewU Read Naomi’s paper doi.org/10.1242/dev.205772 Is your institution participating too? bit.ly/3O7BxGi
Alongside the supporting and pleasant production process, I was happily surprised to learn that The Hebrew University is part of this amazing Open Access initiative with The Company of Biologists. I was further surprised of how smooth, quick and easy the approval process was. And the tree that was planted– it was a thrill to learn about it, such a simple and brilliant idea! I could never afford Open Access and this has been a very positive experience. Thanks!
