Open Access and Scholarly Communication

BMC has an evolving portfolio of some 300 peer-reviewed journals, sharing discoveries from research communities in science, technology, engineering and medicine. In 1999 we made high quality research open to everyone who needed to access it – and in making the open access model sustainable, we changed the world of academic publishing.

Taylor & Francis Group’s flourishing program of full open access journals enables you to make your research freely and permanently available so anyone, anywhere can read and build upon your work. Use the subject area filter to explore our portfolio of fully open journals and find the best home for your research.

Our fully gold open access journals are supported by societies as well as internationally renowned editorial board members, and all research articles published in our fully gold open access journals are immediately freely available to read, download and share.
