Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced that its journals BMC Cancer, BMC Genomics, BMC Bioinformatics and BMC Neuroscience have begun operating under an enhanced editorial structure with the appointment of academic Editors to head up different sections of each journal.
Under the new structure, each journal is categorised into sections, and each section is led by a Section Editor with extensive knowledge of the discipline. The Section Editors work closely with a group of Associate Editors to peer-review manuscripts and with the Editor-in-Chief and BioMed Central’s editorial staff to develop their journals by formulating journal policies and encouraging submissions.
This editorial structure seeks to ensure that manuscripts are handled by members of the scientific community with expert knowledge of the field, helping to speed up review times and reduce the need for re-review.
