Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced that the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR) is moving to BioMed Central's open access publishing platform from the traditional subscription publishers, Taylor & Francis. The move will allow the Society of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) members and JCMR authors to disseminate their research in the field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and spectroscopy more efficiently.
Beginning in January 2008, JCMR (www.jcmr-online.com) readers will have free, instant online access to all published articles not only on BioMed Central's website, but also on PubMed Central as well as other open access repositories.
The Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is claimed to be the first and only journal devoted exclusively to CMR. The journal includes basic and clinical research articles, technical notes, review articles, and editorial commentary on the research, design, development, and evaluation of magnetic resonance methods applied to the cardiovascular system.
JCMR will now become part of a growing stable of society journals published by BioMed Central. Most recently, Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN) moved its publishing activities to BioMed Central. Others include Asia Pacific Family Medicine, the regional journal for the World Organisation of National Colleges, Academies and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians; and Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, the official journal of the Veterinary Associations of the Nordic Countries.
