BioMed Central
BioMed Central is an independent publishing house that aims to provide immediate free
access to peer reviewed biomedical literature. It publishes all articles deemed scientifically
sound simultaneously on its own websites and through PubMed Central. BioMed Central
provides a quick route on to PubMed Central for authors disenchanted with traditional
journals' slow peer review process and their practice of charging users for the finished
product. It does this in two ways through its own electronic journals and by giving groups of
scientists the ability to set up electronic journals under their own editorial control. Most of
BioMed Central's large stable of electronic journals began publishing within the past 2-3
years. All of them are indexed by PubMed, even those that are yet to publish an article.
