The Company of Biologists
About the Read & Publish Agreement
MSU Library has a 'read and publish’ agreement with the Company of Biologists.
The ‘read and publish’ agreement will continue to allow MSU faculty, students, and staff full access to read the Company of Biologist's three subscription journals: Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology. In addition to the continued read-access to these journals, Montana State University authors will be able to publish an uncapped number of open access research articles in these journals under this agreement.
