Portland Press Limited, the not-for-profit publishing subsidiary of the Biochemical Society, has announced that it will invite authors to use the CC-BY (Creative Commons Attribution) licence for papers published in its two Gold Open Access journals - ASN NEURO and Bioscience Reports. This allows authors to comply fully with recent changes in funding body policies.
This change in licensing arrangements also applies to papers published under the Opt2Pay (Gold Open Access) option in Portland Press's hybrid journals, which include the long-standing, core title the Biochemical Journal, Biochemical Society Transactions and the clinical research publication Clinical Science.
Portland Press Limited is a not-for-profit, innovative publisher of journals, books and electronic resources in the biochemical, cellular and molecular life sciences. The surplus from the sale of publications is returned to the scientific community via the activity of the Biochemical Society.
