From 2025 this will include two fully open access journals: Disease Models & Mechanism and Biology Open.
An APC payment link will be sent to the corresponding author at acceptance and waivers will be applied automatically based on the institution details provided at submission. Publication will proceed following verification by the Imperial open access team, and articles will be published under a CC-BY license.
