Leiden University and The Company of Biologists have made an agreement that allows corresponding authors from Leiden University/LUMC to publish their articles open access without additional costs in 3 journals.

• Development
• Journal of Cell Science
• Journal of Experimental Biology  

Authors should identify themselves as eligible to The Company of Biologists by using their Leiden institutional email address throughout the submission process.

You can read more on what to do in order to profit from the possibility to publish Open Access with a CC-BY licence in these journals in a dedicated step-by-step guide for corresponding authors on the Company of Biologists' website.

Please note that the journals Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open are not part of the agreement!
