Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced that nominations for the 3rd Annual Research Awards are now open. The awards celebrate the best published research across medical and biological science within any of BioMed Central's open access journals.
Now in its third year, the awards recognise excellence in research that has been made universally accessible by open access publication. Nominations via the website are now being accepted and will close on December 31, 2008. Anyone who publishes original research of major significance in one of BioMed Central's journals during 2008 is eligible for nomination.
The winning articles will be selected by a panel including BioMed Central editorial team members and external experts in biology and medicine. Winners will be announced at the Annual BioMed Central Research Awards function in March 2009.
