BioMed Central has received its 10,000th submission. Quoting its lead author, Jan Gläscher: "I strongly support the idea of open access and the unrestricted spread of knowledge within the scientific community. I think that authors should support BMC journals strongly by submitting high quality manuscripts to them." Quoting BMC: "In the years since BioMed Central launched in 2000, we have seen our submission rate grow rapidly as more and more researchers choose Open Access journals as the best home for their research."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
