Read & Publish Our new initiative to support the transition to open access publishing Read & Publish Read & Publish is the latest in a series of initiatives we’re planning to support the transition to open access (OA) publishing, in line with the Wellcome Trust’s requirements.

Corresponding authors at institutions with Read & Publish can publish gold OA in all hybrid Royal Society of Chemistry journals. At the same time, your institution gains access to all of our hybrid journal portfolio.

"We regard this new agreement with the Royal Society of Chemistry as another practical step in the transition from subscription to open access as envisioned in the OA2020 initiative.

With this new approach we shift our payments and workflows in a way to make open access the default of publishing for our researchers."

Dr Ralf Schimmer Head of Information at the Max Planck Digital Library
