The Microbiology Society is expanding its Publish and Read programme, aiming to help more researchers participate in and benefit from Open Access (OA) publishing. The model is designed to offer a frictionless OA experience for authors, and provides maximum value for institutions, with minimum administration.

Publish and Read replaces traditional subscriptions and author fees, rolling both into one simple annual fee for institutions, covering access to all Society journals and uncapped OA publishing across all of our journals.

The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses. It is one of the largest microbiology societies in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools.
