Onwards and upwards: European Journal of Medical Research continues as an open access publication

Abstract

The well-established European Journal of Medical Research has joined BioMed Central's portfolio of journals in January 2012, converting to the open access publishing model. Since its launch in 1995 the journal has been a print-only publication; from now on, it continues as an open access, online-only journal. The conversion to open access opens up the potential for the journal to become a leading, globally visible title in the field of general medicine over the coming years. © 2012 Busch and Häussinger; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
