Our fully open access portfolio

An evolving portfolio of around 300 fully OA peer-reviewed journals, sharing discoveries in science, technology, engineering and medicine.

BioMed Central (now BMC) changed the world of academic publishing with the introduction of the first OA business model.

BMC now publishes some of the world’s leading high-quality OA titles, such as BMC Biology, BMC Medicine, Genome Biology and Genome Medicine; academic journals such as Journal of Hematology & Oncology, Malaria Journal and Microbiome; and the BMC Series: 53 inclusive journals focused on the needs of individual research communities.

A collection of fully OA journals committed to providing authors with a streamlined submission process, rapid review and publication, and a high level of author service at every stage.

Titles cover hot topics from across the full range of applied science, physical, life, medical and social disciplines. The series puts the author at the heart of the publication process and aims to publish manuscripts 7–10 weeks from submission – while maintaining the high levels of research integrity expected of any Springer Nature title.

Providing a rigorous and dynamic outlet for the publication of the latest research in all areas of humanities and social sciences.
