Peer Review Week 2017 – Transparency in review
2017 is the year of transparency in peer review. The goal of Peer Review Week 2017, held 11-17 September 2017, is to raise awareness and explore what transparency in peer review means for researchers, for funders, and others concerned with peer review.

FEMS Journals and Open Access
All but one of the FEMS journals are now fully open access (OA), with one journal, FEMS Microbiology Letters remaining a subscription journal with free-to-publish and OA options. Open access is key to supporting the FEMS mission of disseminating high quality research as widely as possible: when high quality, peer reviewed sound science is open access, anyone, anywhere in the world with an internet connection, can read it.
