The debut of PMC Biophysics

Firstly, the open access movement is gathering strength. Pioneered by PMC Biophysics's parent company, BioMed Central, open access allows any reader immediate free access to published articles, encouraging the widest possible spread of knowledge. Archiving in multiple repositories ensures the long-term preservation of scientific research, and electronic publication enables the inclusion of multimedia content and the dissemination of raw data allowing other researchers to exploit them. All these features serve to enhance the impact of published articles.
