Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced that Asia Pacific Family Medicine, the official journal of the Asia Pacific Region of WONCA, has relaunched on BioMed Central's publishing platform. The move is expected to increase the exposure of the journal to the widest possible global audience.
An established journal since 2002, Asia Pacific Family Medicine will continue to provide a forum for the dissemination of high quality regional research and to enhance the standards of family medicine by focusing on best practice.
The journal will publish reports of data from original research; reviews; book reviews; case reports; case studies; commentaries; and short reports. All articles are archived in PubMed Central, the US National Library of Medicine's full-text repository of life science literature, and also in repositories at the University of Potsdam in Germany, at INIST in France and in e-Depot, the National Library of the Netherlands' digital archive of all electronic publications. The journal is also participating in the British Library's e-journals pilot project, and plans to deposit copies of all articles with the British Library.
