A leader in open access publishing, BMC makes scientific knowledge widely available and champions the benefits of open research for all.BMC is committed to supporting the needs of our communities, safeguarding the integrity of the research we publish, and providing a comprehensive forum for sharing scientifically robust findings with the world.An open access pioneer In 2000, BMC (then BioMed Central) made high quality research open to every reader – and in making the open access model sustainable, we changed the world of academic publishing.We have consistently valued rigorous review and were one of the first publishers to have a dedicated research integrity team, building our reputation for publishing high-quality open access research.BMC continues to partner with authors, editors, and reviewers to make research more discoverable, and to develop new approaches to peer review to give authors an efficient, transparent, and fair process. Innovation in publishing - like research itself - never stops. BMC continues to experiment with and develop new approaches to research publishing, to better support researchers and their communities.Our journals and impact BMC has a portfolio of more than 300 peer-reviewed journals, sharing discoveries from research communities across scientific and clinical disciplines.Some of our journals were the very first open access journals in their fields. Now they, and the journals we have launched in the years since, are some of the largest and most cited open access publications in their disciplines.With the support of over 23,000 editors, we’ve helped authors from more than 160 countries share their findings with the world. Together, we empower our research communities to drive meaningful change. Trusted We publish research held to the highest standards of scientific rigor, accessed by 6 million readers each month.1 Supportive In our author survey, 94% agreed that their review process was ‘detailed and informative’ and ‘useful in improving my manuscript’.2 Inclusive BMC welcomes all robust research, from groundbreaking discoveries to articles, data outputs and methodologies that support sound science and reproducibility. Community-focused We have built a loyal and diverse community of editors, reviewers and authors who play a vital role in ensuring a high standard of research integrity.
