The OASPA Board is delighted to welcome eLife as a full member of OASPA now with voting privileges. This open access publication, launched in 2012, is a joint initiative of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society, and the Wellcome Trust.
“Along with a growing number of public and private research funders worldwide, these three organizations recognise that the communication of research results is as fundamental a component of the research process as the experiments themselves”, says Mark Patterson, Managing Executive Editor for eLife. “Disseminating new findings as widely and effectively as possible maximises the value of research investments and the establishment of eLife provides a new, open-access venue for the most important advances — from basic biological research through to applied, translational and clinical studies.”
From a new publication to a publisher that started business more over two centuries ago, OASPA are pleased to also have Taylor & Francis on board as a full voting member. Taylor & Francis includes the well-known Routledge brand and has a network of offices around the world. Through T&F Open they now publish a range of fully Open Access titles and Open Access hybrids.
