Introducing BMC Proceedings

December 7th, 2007 by Kaitlin Thaney

Announced yesterday on BioMed Central’s blog, the publishing group will soon be launching a new open access journal for conference proceedings - BMC Proceedings. According to the post, the journal will go live later this month, and will accept an array of conference material, ranging from abstracts to review articles and other related content from events in biology or medicine.

Proceedings material will also be indexed and submitted to Pubmed and PubMed Central. All content will be peer-reviewed, as well.

This is wonderful news. BioMed Central is one of more than 250 peer-reviewed scholarly journals that license their content under a CC-license. Proceedings will follow suit, adding another useful OA resource to the arsenal. Stay tuned for the launch!
