Yale University Library Joins BioMed Central
Yale University Library has reached agreement with BioMed Central to join as an institutional member. BioMed Central (BMC) is an
independent publishing house committed to providing open access to the peer-reviewed biological and medical research it publishes.
As a benefit of membership, the $500 article processing fee is now waived for all Yale-authored articles published in one of
BMC's 60 peer-reviewed journals. Accepted articles become available through the Internet to readers worldwide. In addition,
articles are immediately archived for permanent access in PubMed Central by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, which is part of the National Institutes of Health.
The Yale University Library pursued membership in BMC as we explore alternative scholarly publishing models in a digital environment.
BioMed Central is premised on a belief that open access to research is vital to rapid and efficient progress in science, and that
subscription-based access to research hinders rather than promotes scientific communication. Yale's membership in BMC has been funded by the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library and the Kline Science Library.
