EIFL’s partner publisher, the Company of Biologists, reports that its read and publish agreements have led to a significant increase in the proportion of open access research content in its hybrid subscription journals, according to an article published by the independent news website, Research information. 

In 2021, the Company of Biologists signed an agreement with EIFL which enables researchers in 30 developing and transition economy countries to publish open access articles in its hybrid journals without paying an article processing charge (APC). In addition, the Company of Biologists has signed read and publish agreements with library consortia in Australia, Germany, Israel, Spain, the UK and the USA, as part of its Read and Publish Open Access initiative.
