TY - JOUR AU - Geraedts, Joep PY - 2020 DA - 2020/01/14 TI - Another Productive Year JO - OBM Genetics SP - 102 VL - 04 IS - 01 AB - At the beginning of a new year it is always good to look both backwards and forwards and to highlight a few items that are relevant with respect to the long-term development of our journal. As everybody knows, the principle of open access publishing is that the authors pay fees (the articleā€processing charges or APCs) to publish in the journal rather than that the readers pay subscription costs for the journal. Three years ago, OBM Genetics started as an open access journal publishing its first papers totally free of charge and it has done so till the end of 2019 in order to attract high-quality papers. This policy has been successful. SN - 2577-5790 UR - https://doi.org/10.21926/obm.genet.2001102 DO - 10.21926/obm.genet.2001102 ID - Geraedts2020 ER -
