The Microbiology Society has announced Canada’s Federal Science Libraries Network (FSLN) has joined the successful Publish and Read agreement between the Microbiology Society and four Canadian consortia from 2023.
The Publish and Read model will allow affiliated researchers of seven government departments to publish an unlimited number of Open Access (OA) articles in hybrid and fully OA titles, as well as have full read access to the Society’s journals portfolio. This effectively makes it the first publisher deal covering both academic and government consortia in Canada.
The all-inclusive nature of this deal makes it a first for Canada and the Microbiology Society and opens new collaboration avenues for the Society and researchers in Canada.
Affiliated authors with Publish and Read institutions are entitled to unlimited OA publishing and unlimited usage.
Authors can check if their institution is eligible on the Microbiology Society journals website.
Publish and Read is available across the Society’s six journals, including hybrid titles Journal of General Virology, Journal of Medical Microbiology, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, and fully OA titles Access Microbiology, Microbial Genomics, Microbiology.
