Company of Biologists develop full open access option

The Company of Biologists (COB) - publishers of Development and Journal of Cell Science - has developed an open access ("gold") option, which meets the requirements of the UKPMC Funders' Group.

For a fee of £1350, the COB will deposit the final version of the article in PubMed Central (at the time of publication) and allow these articles to be re-used in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution, non-commercial, share-alike licence.

From January 2011, all content for Disease Models & Mechanisms will be Open Access. The Article Processing Cost (APC) for this title is also £1350 (plus VAT if applicable).
