Publish and Read | Microbiology Society

"From 2023 all subscribers to the Society journals are invited to upgrade to a Publish and Read deal and quotes to do so will be sent with renewal notices. Institutions that buy a Publish and Read package are offered:

• Unlimited OA: any article published in Society journals where the corresponding author is from a Publish and Read institution will be OA by default.
• Unlimited usage: any user associated with a Publish and Read institution can access the entire archive of Society content, back to 1947, for reading and for text and data mining.

Following two successful pilot years, The Microbiology Society is extending its Publish and Read institutional licence so that more organisations and researchers can participate and benefit from Open Access (OA) publishing. 

Publish and Read is designed to offer a frictionless OA experience for authors, and provides maximum value for institutions, with minimum administration. It offers institutions an alternative to both subscriptions and article processing charges (APCs), although both of these routes will still be available...."
