Open access publisher BioMed Central has announced that the journal Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine has published its first open access articles with the publisher. The journal, originally published by Novamedia srl, launched in 2006 as the official scientific journal of the Interdisciplinary Association for Research in Lung Diseases, AIMAR.
Editors-in-Chief Fernando De Benedetto, Claudio F Donner and Claudio M Sanguinetti look forward to the journal’s continued growth under the open access model. The opportunity for increased visibility offered by open access will surely help the journal to become the truly international publication that it hopes to be.
