On 29 May 2007, a partnership was established between the Asia-Pacific International Molecular Biology Network and the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Journal. The Partnership Agreement stipulates a discount on the open access fee ( USD2,000>USD1,500 ) for members of the Asia-Pacific International Molecular Biology Network being announced in our respective newsletters and websites, thus promoting the HFSP Journal amongst the Asia-Pacific International Molecular Biology Network community and the Asia-Pacific International Molecular Biology Network amongst the HFSP constituency. The HFSP Journal has recently established similar partnerships with the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies, with the New York Academy of Science and with the Virtual Journal of Biological Physics Research.
