Open-Access Publishing and the Coronavirus
Some publishers are
moving toward an open model, prompted by COVID-19.
The unrestricted
sharing of scientific papers during the coronavirus pandemic may have hastened
the shift toward more open-access publishing, scientists believe, as several
leading journals move to make content publicly available.
Following are some
Publishers:
Britain’s
Biochemical Society became the
latest organization to make all of its published content free to view, citing
the “extraordinary times with the current Covid-19 pandemic” as its reason for
lifting paywalls on its Portland Press imprint until further notice
Springer
Nature, announced on
April 8, to offer researchers a route to publishing open access in Nature and most Nature-branded journals
from 2021
Elsevier
title, Neuron, to demand a similar switch to open access.

The MMW Project characterizes these materials as
“mostly unresearched,” perhaps encouraging a curious army of sequestered
armchair historians to dig into this wealth more than 500 manuscripts and 827
paintings from the Islamicate world broadly construed.
