Academic publisher Oxford University Press (OUP) has announced the launch of a new medical journal, Oxford Medical Case Reports (OMCR).
OMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal publishing original and educationally valuable case reports that expand the field of medicine. The journal covers all medical specialties including cardiology, rheumatology, nephrology, oncology, neurology, and reproduction, comprising a comprehensive resource for physicians in all fields and at all stages of training.
The journal will provide a fast first decision for authors submitting work, within 28 days of submission, and there will be no open access fees for the launch period. Published papers will be compliant with the requirements of funding agencies such as the Wellcome Trust, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), and the RCUK. All published papers will be automatically deposited in the Open Access repository PubMedCentral.
OMCR is edited by Dr Richard Watts with associate editors Dr Aloysious Aravinthan, Dr Eleane Ntatsaki, Dr Vassilis Vassiliou, and Dr Vivan Yiu. The first OMCR content will be published in April 2014.
