BMC has an evolving portfolio of some 300 peer-reviewed journals, sharing discoveries from research communities in science, technology, engineering and medicine. Journals include: BMC Biology, BMC Medicine, Genome Biology, Genome Medicine and BMC Global and Public Health, academic journals such as Journal of Hematology & Oncology, Malaria Journal and Microbiome, and the BMC series, 53 inclusive journals focused on the needs of individual research communities. We also partner with leading institutions and societies to publish journals on their behalf.

The Biodiversity Heritage Library improves research methodology by collaboratively making biodiversity literature openly available to the world as part of a global biodiversity community. The BHL portal provides free access to hundreds of thousands of volumes, comprising over 60 million pages, from the 15th-21st centuries. BHL operates as a worldwide consortium of natural history, botanical, research, and national libraries, bringing together resources previously unavailable to researchers.

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols is an interdisciplinary journal providing a definitive source of research methods in cell, developmental and molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, protein science, computational biology, immunology, neuroscience and imaging. Each monthly issue details multiple essential methods—a mix of cutting-edge and well-established techniques. All protocols are up-to-date and presented in a consistent, easy-to-follow format.

PLOS publishes a suite of influential Open Access journals across all areas of science and medicine. Rigorously reported, peer reviewed and immediately available without restrictions, promoting the widest readership and impact possible.
