Membership

The Membership Program allows institutions to actively support open access by removing some or all of the financial cost from the individual author, when publishing in a BioMed Central, Chemistry Central or SpringerOpen journal.

"Each year, Glasgow University staff publish a growing number of articles in BioMed Central journals, knowing that the journals are of high quality and that their work will reach the widest possible audience."

Tony Kidd, University of Glasgow

"The Supporter's Membership scheme is considered to be very good value for money by the University of Cambridge; our academic community publishes many articles on BioMed Central and the Membership scheme provides a substantial discount (thereby freeing up resources for research and other requirements). The Membership has been straightforward and easy to set up and requires very little administrative effort. It is highly likely that the University of Cambridge will renew Membership of this scheme for the foreseeable future."

Chad Pillinger, University of Cambridge


Open Repository

Builds and maintains repositories for institutions, enabling them to have their own branded repository without the logistical complexities that an in-house solution brings.

Visit the website or follow us on Twitter to learn more.

"Only praise the staff for being extremely helpful and supportive both during the establishment of the repository and subsequently with various modifications. Very impressive service."

Tony Reid, Medécins Sans Frontières
