Publisher's Comment for JBC 41-2

Abstract

A few years ago Journal of Biocommunication found itself in a unique position. The JBC Board faced challenges relating to new publishing demands from the National Institutes of Health, state-supported universities, Canadian universities, and non-profit reserach institutes. The JBC needed to embrace these new open access rquirements, yet felt that it should maintain a fully copyrighted environment for illustrators, photographers, and others who wanted that traditional protection. The JBC's solution was to publish in a dual environment withing a Open Journal Systems framework.

We rely on our readership for feedback about the Journal, and we invite you to share your thoughts with us about any of our columns and articles. We always appreciate your suggestions for improvement.
