** Apologies for cross posting ** Dear Librarians and Open Access Administrators, The Royal Society needs your help! We need your opinions on our open access programme, and you can have the chance to win £100 ($150) of Amazon vouchers. http://svy.mk/OAsurvey ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a result of the growing demand by both authors and institutions, The Royal Society is pleased to announce the launch of Open Biology, our first fully open access journal. Being the first wholly open access online journal from the Royal Society, we would like to ask for your contribution in helping us determine how we can best serve your faculty and scientists who wish to publish in open access. Please complete this short survey to help us better understand your institution's requirements and views towards open access publishing and funding. http://svy.mk/OAsurvey Your feedback is greatly valued and will be reviewed by the Royal Society's publishing team, ensuring that we work together with those institutions that support open access in order to achieve our goal towards the dissemination of scientific knowledge. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Biology is a rapid, open-access, peer-reviewed online journal publishing high quality research in cell biology, developmental and structural biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, immunology, microbiology and genetics. The Editor-in-Chief, Professor David Glover (FRS) from the University of Cambridge, aims to provide a journal with a fair and speedy review system, "run by active, practicing scientists... with high expertise in this area", "allowing good papers to be published quickly". He goes on to say that there is a need for scientists to be actively involved in communicating and publishing their ideas, and believes Open Biology can help answer these needs by covering these specialist areas. We thank you for your feedback, and if you may know of any other open access advocates who wish to present their views to the Royal Society, please forward them this email.
