We’re excited to share great news for researchers in microbiology! Our institution is now part of a Subscribe to Open (S2O) agreement with the Microbiology Society. This model guarantees UNM-Albuquerque affiliated authors free Open Access (OA) publishing to the Journal of General Virology and the Journal of Medical Microbiology. This means there will be no article processing fees (APCs) if the article is accepted for publication.
What is Subscribe to Open (S2O)?
S2O is an OA publishing model that keeps journals subscription-based but makes content open access when enough institutions continue their subscriptions. This means no APCs for authors at institutions with an agreement if the journal reaches its subscription goal.
Benefits of S2O
- Published content can be accessed by anyone, anywhere
- Uncapped OA publishing
- Read access to journal content
- Supports wider transition to OA
How to Publish Under S2O
For more details on publishing OA via an instructional agreement, see the Microbiology Society’s Author Guide. Authors simply need to submit as the corresponding or co-corresponding author, using their institutional email address, in the relevant title.
