The nonprofit science publisher Annual Reviews announced in a press release that it has converted the first 15 journal volumes of 2023 to Open Access. Milner Library’s current agreement with Annual Reviews helped make this happen.
Since 2017, Annual Reviews has used an Open Access journal funding model called Subscribe to Open, which relies on sufficient library subscriptions to convert gated journals to Open Access volume by volume. If the journal maintains subscriptions at a level to sustain its operational costs, the current year’s volume becomes Open Access.
In addition to helping make more research openly available through its Annual Reviews subscription, the agreement with Milner Library also allows Illinois State University corresponding authors to publish in Annual Reviews titles at no cost.
The following Annual Reviews are available through Milner’s subscription:
Annual Review of Anthropology, Annual Review of Biochemistry, Annual Review of Biophysics, Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, Annual Review of Entomology, Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Annual Review of Genetics, Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, Annual Review of Immunology, Annual Review of Medicine, Annual Review of Microbiology, Annual Review of Neuroscience, Annual Review of Nutrition, Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, Annual Review of Physiology, Annual Review of Phytopathology, Annual Review of Plant Biology, Annual Review of Psychology, Annual Review of Public Health, Annual Review of Sociology
