Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced the forthcoming launch of a new journal - BMC Research Notes. The journal is the latest addition to the BMC series, a group of open access, peer-reviewed research-only journals that span most areas of biological and clinical research. The journal will begin to accept submissions in early 2008.
BMC Research Notes seeks to provide a home for short publications, case series, incremental updates to previous work, results of individual experiments and similar material that currently lack a suitable outlet. The intention is to reduce the loss suffered by the research community when such results remain unpublished.
The journal will publish scientifically sound research across all fields of biology and medicine, enabling authors to publish updates to previous research, software tools and databases, data sets, small-scale clinical studies, and reports of confirmatory or 'negative' results. All submissions will be fully peer-reviewed, and will be handled by an international board of academic Associate Editors spanning all biological and medical disciplines.
