MU Libraries has a new agreement with Company of Biologists waiving the fee for open access articles making it easier for you to make your article instantly available worldwide.

What does that mean for you?

Our new agreement allows authors who publish in their journals to publish open access, meaning your journal article would be freely available to anyone around the world instantly after publication, for free. You also keep your author rights. This includes articles already published in 2021.

What journals does this include?

  • Journal of Cell Science
  • Development
  • Journal of Experimental Biology

It’s that time of the semester when you are most likely thinking about your final papers. We’ve got several guides to make the writing process easier.

Citing Sources

Citation Styles & Tools: Citation Styles: The Basics – See tabs for APA, MLA, Chicago, and specialty citation formats.  You can also learn more about how our databases help you cite the sources you find.

Paraphrasing vs Plagiarism

Curious about the difference between paraphrasing and plagiarizing?  Check out our plagiarism tutorial and other resources here.

Writing Help

Did you know there’s a Writing Center site in Ellis Library in the Info Commons? You can sign up for a writing center appointment here.

As always, your Mizzou Librarians are available to help you through MU Connect and 24/7 chat.

No question is too big or small. We are here for you!
