AAAS Alliance to Expand Access to High-Quality Scientific Publishing

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Gates Foundation have formed a partnership to advance scientific communication and open access publishing. As a result of this partnership, AAAS will allow authors funded by the Gates Foundation to publish their research under a CC BY license in the Science family of journals. This means that the final published version of any article from a Foundation-funded author submitted to one of the AAAS journals after January 1, 2017 will be immediately available to read, download and reuse.
