Healthcare knowledge provider BMJ has launched an online publishing portal in China that brings together information and resources to support doctors, researchers and clinicians.
BMJ's new publishing portal, written in Mandarin Chinese, provides information on individual journals, open access, the publishing process, editorial policies, research highlights, news, activities, services and more.
It features content and resources from BMJ's growing portfolio of 60 world leading medical and allied science journals, including its flagship journal The BMJ, and showcases high impact research and profiles of editors and authors from China.
Authors are provided with a range of publishing options and encouraged to submit to BMJ's growing portfolio of journals, with a focus on open access journal like BMJ Open. Resources include The BMJ's series of Statistics Notes articles and Research to Publication, a new e-learning programme for researchers.
This is BMJ's first publishing portal for a specific country and reflects growing demand for BMJ's products and services among researchers based in China.
In 2013 alone, the total number of academic publications from authors in China reached near 450,000, closely following the US. Of these, over 60,000 were medical publications. It is predicted that China will overtake the US to have the largest output of academic publications in the world.
The portal is operated by BMJ's local team based in Beijing to ensure that content is relevant and engaging, and is supported by a group of leading experts as editorial and advisory board members from China.
