Open Access News: All UK universities to become BioMed Central Members

BioMed Central and JISC announced on 17 June that all 180 UK universities
will become BioMed Central members on 1 July. From this date
article-processing charges will be waived - for all UK higher education
staff - when publishing in any of BioMed Central's 90+ peer-reviewed
journals in which all research content is freely accessible.

The membership is made possible by the Joint Information Systems Committee
(JISC), a joint committee of HEFCE and other UK further and higher
education funding bodies. More than 80,000 biology and medical researchers
working at UK universities can now share their research findings freely
with fellow researchers, funding bodies, students, journalists, and the
general public worldwide.

Full details are available on the BioMed Central site in our press release

special information page
