BMC 20th anniversary
This year BMC is celebrating its 20th year anniversary. We are excited about everything we have achieved in that time, especially about BMC’s leadership role in the global growth of open access. We invite you to join us, as we look at BMC’s achievements and future endeavours through interviews, videos and other resources we have created to commemorate our journey.

The need for continued access to research and learning has never been more important. We recognise our role in this and are working with global organisations, such as the World Health Organisation and the initiative from the White House Office of Science and Technology to make all relevant global research, and data, immediately available. We also continue to work directly with teachers, lecturers, librarians, students and institutions to support their work. See more from our CEO, Frank Vrancken Peeters.

So far we have:

Enabled free access to over 70,000 articles, book chapters, reference works and protocols on our platforms
Published over 55,000 new COVID-19 articles and supported all researchers in making their underlying experimental data sets available for free and re-use (since the beginning of the pandemic)
Made available, via Research Square, over 8,700 COVID-19 preprint articles
