Overview

BioMed Central publishes peer-reviewed research across all areas of biology and medicine. All research published on the site is accessible free of charge; articles are peer-reviewed by external reviewers and published quickly online. BioMed Central articles are cited in PubMed and are available in full through the PubMed%20Centralpermanent archive.

The peer-review process is speeded up by the use of a web-based system for referees to view manuscripts and feed back comments to authors. Medical articles will be published with reviewers' comments and the author's response.

'BioMed Central promises to deliver all primary research without financial and copyright barriers and deserves all our support. Free access to research and the right to distribute work among colleagues will allow scientists to participate in a truly worldwide community of scholars.'
