Professor Jake Baum, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

"It was a huge relief to be able to publish our article Open Access in Disease Models & Mechanisms without charge and I wish all publishing was this straightforward. Institutions need to realise Read & Publish is a win-win situation - researchers are supported to publish in high quality journals that everyone will read, rather than seeking the cheapest and sometimes least reliable option with the work often going unseen."
