Open access publisher Medknow Publications, India, has signed an agreement with Globethics.net, a global network of institutions and persons interested in different fields of applied ethics. Under the deal, both companies will cooperate in the acquisition, production, subscription, distribution, availability and marketing of online and print journals on applied ethics, worldwide, with a special focus on ethics journals from developing and transition countries.
The objective is to increase global access to these journals, especially via the Globethics.net Online Library and the journals' individual websites. Most of the journals in the project would offer immediate open access to the contents. The African Journal of Business Ethics will be the first journal to go full text online as a part of this project.

The publishing house pioneers in 'fee-less-free' model of open access publishing and provides immediate free access to the electronic editions of the journals without charging the author or author's institution for submission, processing or publication of the articles.
