Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, and Edanz recently hosted two complimentary workshops for authors in China. Zhejiang University School of Medicine (ZUSM), a BioMed Central member, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (SJTU-SM), hosted more than 140 scientists at seminars, led by Diane Wang, Publishing Manager China for BioMed Central, and Dr Warren Raye, Senior Life Sciences Editor for Edanz.
The workshops comprised two lectures, 'BioMed Central: Making Scientific Findings More Open' and 'How to Write and Publish Scientific Articles'. Attendees learnt about the open access publishing landscape and BioMed Central's open access journal portfolio, as well as hearing key points on manuscript preparation and submission, including study design, journal selection, manuscript structure and common language mistakes.
East Asia is reportedly the fastest growing source of papers for all STM publishers. The number of peer-reviewed articles published by Chinese researchers alone has risen 64-fold over the past 30 years. In addition, BioMed Central has witnessed a 168 percent rise in the number of papers submitted from authors based in mainland China in the last two years. Services such as Edanz, for which BioMed Central authors receive a discount, provide scientists from this region with cost-effective and comprehensive English language support throughout the peer review process.
