Chinese Academy of Sciences embraces open access
The Chinese Academy of Sciences will cover the publications costs for their authors wishing to publish in a Biomed Central (BMC) journal. A press release on the BMC website announced this new partnership, which also noted that “BioMed Central has seen significant growth in the number of published articles from authors based in mainline China and the Far East. Just 1.5% of all submissions received in 2004 came from the region, compared to 6.2% in 2008.”
