   - *Nature Communications is to become the first Nature-branded open
   access only journal.* The number one open access journal in
   multidisciplinary sciences*, Nature Communications is Nature Publishing
   Group's (NPG) flagship open access title. Nature Communications will only
   accept open access research submissions from 20th October 2014.

   - NPG is also making further policy moves with this development. *Nature
   Communications now offers the CC BY 4.0 license
   <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/> as default, with other
   Creative Commons (CC) licenses available upon request.* There is no
   price difference for the choice of CC license. APC waivers will be
   available for HINARI countries, and to others on a case-by-case basis.
