Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced the winners of the 2007 BioMed Central Research Awards. The winners were announced at an awards ceremony at the Royal Society of Medicine. The event was attended by shortlisted authors, eminent researchers from around the world, open access advocates and science journalists.
Now in its second year, the Research Awards recognise excellence in research which has been made universally accessible by open access publication. The Awards celebrate the best medical and biological research published in any of BioMed Central's open access journals in the last year.
This year there was a new addition to the awards, the JMCR Award, presented to the author of the most original case report published in the Journal of Medical Case Reports. Dr Phuong Mai won the award for her case report: 'A possible new syndrome with growth-hormone secreting pituitary adenoma, colonic polyposis, lipomatosis, lentigines and renal carcinoma in association with familial testicular germ cell malignancy: A case report'.
