BioMed Central

An independent publishing house, BioMed Central's portfolio of 172 journals includes general titles such as Journal of Biology alongside specialist journals ( e.g. BMC Bioinformatics, Malaria Journal ) that focus on particular disciplines. All the research published by BioMed Central's journals is open access, but BioMed Central also provides access to various additional products and services that require a subscription. For example, certain BioMed Central journals such as Genome Biology publish commissioned review content available only to subscribers. Other subscription-only products include Faculty of 1000, a literature evaluation service that covers both biology and medicine. BioMed Central also operates Open Repository, a hosted digital repository solution for institutions.
