Update on IJTLD OPEN: the future is open

Abstract:
The launch of IJTLD OPEN, which is fully compliant with Plan S, has extended our author base and allowed readers worldwide to access the content for free. PubMed Central (PMC) has recently approved the journal for indexing (including indexing by PubMed), which will further improve visibility and access. Because authors retain copyright they can use their articles without restriction (e.g., to post on free digital repositories), helping to further disseminate their research. All these factors help to ensure that IJTLD OPEN has maximum reach and impact. However, we recognise that fees for open access may present a barrier for authors based in low- to middle-income countries. We call on the international community to ensure funding support for open access is broadly available, with equal opportunity for researchers worldwide.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
