BMC has announced the launch of new open access journals as part of its evolving portfolio expanding beyond biomedicine into the physical and applied sciences.
The new engineering journals - BMC Biomedical Engineering and BMC Chemical Engineering - are now open for submissions, with plans for more journals to be launched in related disciplines in the coming year.
Chemical engineering and biomedical engineering are fields that combine engineering concepts with core scientific principles to develop real world solutions to the benefit of society, an increasing focus of researchers and engineers across the globe.
As part of the BMC Series portfolio, all content in the journals will be fully open access and making data associated with a manuscript freely accessible online will also be highly encouraged.
BMC has also added eight journals which were previously hosted on SpringerOpen, as part of realignment to group complementary journal titles on one platform. These are: Health & Justice; Life Sciences, Society and Policy; Evolution: Education and Outreach; International Journal for Educational Integrity; International Journal of Food Contamination; International Journal of Emergency Medicine; The Journal of Headache and Pain; and Carbon Balance and Management.
