Supporting open dissemination of research
Across BMJ, we publish some of the world’s most widely discussed research that influences health policy and practice worldwide. We want to encourage open dissemination of international medical research and commentary, not just to satisfy mandate criteria, but to ensure that the research is widely visible and accessible. We also want to support improvements in policy and practice. From experience, we know that authors need the best route for publication. Only then, can they achieve real impact and recognition whilst setting the bar for integrity and quality of research. The evidence from the past year shows the success of open access at BMJ.
“At BMJ, we create trust by being transparent and open. We look forward to working with our authors and partners while we help to transition research to open access, with a shared goal of supporting the scientific community to help
create a healthier world.” Claire Rawlinson , Publisher, BMJ
