Open access at BMJ

Open access is a great way to share your research with the academic world and speed up scientific discovery. BMJ is a pioneering publisher and champion of open access research. The research in our flagship journal, The BMJ, has always been free to read and in 2011 we launched our first and largest open access medical journal, BMJ Open. We continue to support innovation through: BMJ Open Science, a journal aimed at improving the validity and quality of pre-clinical research that uses open peer review, open data, and registered reports; and medRxiv, the first dedicated preprint server for health sciences, which was launched in partnership with Yale University and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
