Book "Economic principles in cell biology" - information for authors
Read the January 2023 edition of our book manuscript on our book website
Our plan: a free and open textbook
To describe the economics of cells from different angles, we are writing a book for researchers and students that will condense the knowledge we have as a community and that will serve as an open resource for learning and teaching. Our plan is to
- Write the first textbook / companion book on the topic as an open and free book (to be read online, downloaded or possibly be printed on demand for non-profit)
- Demonstrate that a textbook can be written and continuously updated by an collective of researchers and students, bypassing limitations imposed by publishers
- Establish this book as a standard textbook to which colleagues can easily contribute
This is a community project - please join us any time!
Our monthly meetings take place on the 4th Tuesday of each month, 5:00 pm CET, on zoom.
