40 years ago all of Genbank was published in print form by NAR. The same format today would require over 4 light seconds of shelf space. To a year of progress in 2025.

It is becoming increasingly confusing to work out where to publish if you want to comply with your funders OA policy (or with your own principles). This tool is very helpful journalcheckertool.org
journalcheckertool.org
Journal Checker Tool: Check which publishing options are supported by your funder’s OA policy |
JCT enables researchers to check whether they can comply with their funders Plan S aligned OA policy based on the journal, the funder and the institution affiliated with the research to be published.

Can I ask you to share a PhD advert at Bristol Uni please? Rhomboid proteases play a role in neurons that is essential for life- but it is not characterised. Got a student interested in cell biology, electrophysiology and neurobiology? Send them our way! tinyurl.com/56f24f7c
