Open Access Collaborations
Bentham Science Expands Global Open Access Network with New Agreements and R&P Trials
Bentham Science, in its endeavor to support Open Access scholarly publishing and readership, has signed Open Access Collaborations and offered Read and Publish Trial across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Notable updates include Read and Publish agreements offering 100% waiver on the listed Article Processing Charges (APC) for researchers from Oxford University (UK), Monash University (Australia and Malaysia), the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, The State University of Campinas (UniCamp) in Brazil, and many universities in Italy, Spain, and Türkiye. The Mount Sinai Health System (USA) has also signed an Open Access publishing and reading subscription with Bentham Science.
Concurrently, the publisher has launched several time-limited Read and Publish trials spanning hundreds of institutions across South Korea, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia to bolster global research accessibility and evaluation.

Expanded Continuous Publication Model
Several Bentham Science Journals like Current Diabetes Reviews and Anti-Infective Agents have adopted the Continuous Publication (CP) model enabling accepted articles to be published online immediately after production and formatting are completed. We are expanding the CP model to more journals.
Under this model, articles will no longer follow continuous page numbering within a volume. Instead, each article will begin on page 1 and receive a unique Article ID (eLocator), which will appear on every page and replace traditional page numbers in citations.
This approach ensures that articles receive their complete and final citation details immediately upon publication, improving accessibility, discoverability, and citation efficiency for authors and readers worldwide.
Here is the list of additional journals moving to the CP model.

| 1 | Current Pediatric Reviews | 21 | 4 |
| 2 | Recent Patents On Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery | 20 | 5 |
