Open access is making trusted health research available to more people than ever before. By expanding access, supporting authors and partnering with institutions, we're making trusted health research available to more people in more places. Our Read and Publish agreements with institutions and consortia help researchers publish and read without barriers, even as the landscape changes. Through these agreements, article processing charge (APC) waivers, and partnerships with institutions around the world, we're supporting researchers to publish without financial barriers while supporting a sustainable future for open research.
