[Irtalk] BioMed Central

[Smith, Ina <ismith@sun.ac.za>]

Colleagues

BioMed Central is an STM (Science, Technology and Medicine) publisher which has pioneered the open access publishing model

All original research articles published by BioMed Central are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication. BioMed Central views open access to research as essential in order to ensure the rapid and efficient communication of research findings. They hosted an Open Access Africa conference last week.

Currently it has only two members from SA: University of the Witwatersrand and Stellenbosch University. Please consider becoming a member.

They also offer the following support: Automated article deposit via SWORD (directly into your repository). More at: http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/libraries/sword With the kind assistance of Matt Brown from BioMed Central our articles have now been batch exported to our repository, and in future will be automatically updated and deposited into our IR.

Maybe you will also find it useful.

Kind regards

Ina
