a solution for sustainable open access publishing that provides an alternative to article processing charges (APCs), the mechanism used by most open access journals. It uses existing library relationships and subscription purchases to convert gated journals
to open access. Institutions simply continue<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>to subscribe—there are no additional processes—and as long as subscription revenues are maintained, the year’s volume is published open access and the back volumes made
freely available.<br>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">Dr. Jacks said, "I know I speak for the entire editorial committee as well as all of our authors in saying how important the conversion of the 2020 volume to open access is. The reviews published in the <i>Annual Review
of Cancer Biology</i> help to guide the field for investigators throughout the world and across disciplines. Having the journal be openly available to cancer researchers wherever they may be is a truly significant advance.”<br>
