The Royal Society welcomes leading institutions to its Open Access
Membership Programme
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The growing number of members since its launch early last year
demonstrates the success of the Royal Society’s Open Access Membership
Programme<http://royalsocietypublishing.org/site/librarians/membership.xhtml>,
as University of Cambridge, MIT and The University of Melbourne have
joined the programme along with 30 other institutions →
<http://royalsocietypublishing.org/site/librarians/allmembers.xhtml>.
The programme enables participating organisations to decrease the cost
of the article processing charge to their authors by 25%, along with
further promoting its open access publications and research output.
Institutions choosing to affiliate themselves to the prestigious
charity and support its open access initiatives can find out more by
visiting our membership
webpages<http://royalsocietypublishing.org/site/librarians/membership.xhtml>.

In keeping with its role as the UK's national academy of science, The
Royal Society<http://royalsociety.org/> is committed to the widest
possible dissemination of research outputs. Hence since 2006, any
article can be published in open access under a Creative Commons
license<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/> in any of its
prestigious journals<http://royalsocietypublishing.org/journals>,
including the fully gold journal Open
Biology<http://rsob.royalsocietypublishing.org/>.
Remaining a fair player, The Royal Society ensures that published open
access articles bearing a publication fee are deducted from
subscription prices through its Transparent Pricing Mechanism
