Healthcare knowledge provider BMJ has launched BMJ Open Science – a journal applying open science principles to preclinical and basic research. The journal has open access, open peer review, and has an open data policy.
BMJ Open Science has a clear focus on methodological rigour with an emphasis on transparency, integrity, and reproducibility of the evidence base in order to improve healthcare.
The scope is broad and covers the whole spectrum of preclinical and translational biomedical research, from study protocols through to original research articles, data descriptor articles and systematic reviews.
The research questions addressed must be sound but not necessarily novel, and they must be important and pertinent to human health in a preclinical setting. Eminent scientists from Europe, China, North and South America and from a broad range of biomedical disciplines will serve as members of the Editorial Board.
Editor-in-Chief, Dr Emily Sena is a researcher specialised in the validity of preclinical studies based at the University of Edinburgh.
