Dear TERMIS Members,
I am very pleased to share some excellent news with you.
Over the last few months, a senior team representing TERMIS has conducted productive conversations with key representatives of Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publisher of the journals Tissue Engineering, Parts A, B and C.
As a result of those discussions, the Governing Board and Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers are extremely happy to announce that the Society’s partnership with Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers of the official journal of TERMIS, Tissue Engineering, Parts A, B and C has been renewed, and will be extended through 2028.
What does this continued partnership mean for TERMIS members?
- All members will continue to receive free online access to Tissue Engineering, Parts, A, B and C;
- Submission fees to Tissue Engineering, Parts A, B and C will be waived for authors who are Society members in good standing beginning in 2022 (more details will be provided in 2022 with the TERMIS waiver code);
- Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. will establish a best article award to recognize an author or authors of an article, who have made important contributions in the field. The award of $1,000 USD will be issued at each TERMIS Chapter conference (AM, AP and EU) and one award will be issued at a TERMIS World Congress in the amount of $1,500 USD;

We want to thank Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. for their continual support of our Society and for promoting the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field. In signing this new agreement, we will strengthen our mutually beneficial partnership with Mary Ann Liebert and Tissue Engineering, Parts A, B and C. This contract goes into effect on January 1, 2022.
We will be in contact with our members to provide you with the respective “waiver codes” associated with the Open Access Article Processing Charge (APC) and for the waiver of submission fees.
TERMIS will also be establishing a committee that will work directly with the Publisher to ensure that both of our organizations continue to move in a positive direction with our partnership. If you would like to be involved on the committee, please contact the Executive Administrator.

Sincerely,
