EDP Sciences has announced the launch of a new open access journal, Visualised Cancer Medicine (VCM). VCM is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, which publishes advances in basic, translational, and clinical studies on cancer biology, cancer prevention, cancer screening and diagnosis, cancer treatments, and cancer patient rehabilitation, with an emphasis on videos.
The launch of VCM reflects the success of video journals particularly in medical intervention and treatment planning. Video articles are a novel way of publishing content and offer many advantages including a dynamic and detailed presentation method; an accurate and comprehensive approach and an appealing medium particularly to a younger generation of medical professionals and researchers.
The journal is open to contributions on all topics and publication fees have been waived for an initial period. Articles are presented as or with videos accompanied by written abstracts and are submitted using NESTOR, EDP Sciences’ brand-new submission system and the first to fully integrate video submissions via Cadmore Media. NESTOR offers easier, faster, safer submissions while Cadmore Media is the expert in video streaming for scholarly publishing, providing video with DOIs, descriptive metadata, and full search-text.
All articles are peer-reviewed, and adhere to the strict ethical standards of the journal. A highly-respected international editorial board represents the full scope of topics covered by the journal and guarantees the quality and integrity of the results published.
Authors will enjoy a number of advantages offered by open access. Articles will be published under a Creative Commons licence, so authors will retain copyright and be fully compliant with the open access requirements of funding organisations. VCM’s content will be open to all and disseminated widely, both nationally and internationally. By publishing in VCM, authors will reach key audiences including researchers, clinicians and trainees.
