Open-access publishing makes articles available for anyone to read, either immediately or after an embargo period. Different open-access tiers come with different charges and restrictions on article availability. One tier has colleges, universities, libraries or researchers paying to have their articles published and made widely available, which is different from the traditional publishing model, where subscribers pay to access journals.
The growth of Cambridge University Press s read-and-publish model comes in response to moves by major research funders in Europe to mandate the open publication of research they support. It is becoming clear that many publishers want to promote the tier of open-access publishing that has institutions paying for the widest article availability a dir

The field of artificial intelligence is moving at a staggering clip, with breakthroughs emerging in labs across MIT. Through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), undergraduates get to join in. In two years, the MIT Quest for Intelligence has placed 329 students in research projects aimed at pushing the frontiers of computing and artificial intelligence, and using these tools to revolutionize how we study the brain, diagnose and treat disease, and search for new materials with mind-boggling properties.
Rafael Gomez-Bombarelli, an assistant professor in the MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering, has enlisted several Quest-funded undergraduates in his mission to discover new molecules and materials with the help of AI. “They bring a blue-sky open mind and a lot of energy,” he says. “Through the Quest, we had the chance to connect with students from other majors who
