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.
