BMC is a pioneer of open access publishing. We’re committed to innovation in research publishing to support the needs of our communities and ensure the integrity of the research we publish.

Our leading research journals include selective broad interest titles such as Genome Biology and Genome Medicine, academic journals such as Malaria Journal and Microbiome and the BMC series, 65 inclusive journals focused on the needs of individual research communities. We also partner with leading institutions and societies to publish journals on their behalf. 

BMC also manages the UK primary clinical trial registry ISRCTN (https://www.isrctn.com).
