[GOAL] Research funders renew commitment to transforming science publishing

[Emily Packer]

[Please forgive cross-posting]

eLife recently announced that our three funders – the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute, the Max Planck Society, and the Wellcome Trust – are extending
their support for the non-profit initiative. We issued a press release (
https://elifesciences.org/elife-news/research-funders-renew-commitment-to-transforming-science-publishing),
and Nature wrote a news piece (
http://www.nature.com/news/open-access-journal-elife-gets-25-million-boost-1.20005
).

The open-access eLife journal was the first step in eLife’s mission to help
scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research
communication that encourages and recognises the most responsible
behaviours in science. Now, our Executive Director, Mark Patterson, has
provided some additional commentary on how the organisation has met and is
continuing to meet this goal thanks to the support from its funders.

For anyone interested in reading the full piece, you can find it here:

Many thanks,

Emily
