Annual Reviews journals now available to all

Annual Reviews has made its journals available to all (without access control), in an effort to assist students, faculty, and researchers who are working and studying remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy is effective immediately and will run until 30 April – at which point, the organisation will assess the need to extend this agreement.

President and editor-In-chief of Annual Reviews, Richard Gallagher, said: 'Reviews are a treasure trove of knowledge, particularly well-suited to remote teaching and learning. As a nonprofit organisation run for the benefit of science and the progress of society, we hope that this action will make the time spent away from research and academic institutions a little easier.'

Gallagher highlighted another online teaching resource also published by Annual Reviews that is always openly available, Knowable Magazine – a digital publication that explores the real-world significance of scholarly work through a journalistic lens.
