Journal of Autoimmune Diseases -- new OA journal

Journal of Autoimmune Diseases (JAD), as the title indicates, is wholly devoted to clinical and experimental research in the field of autoimmune diseases. JAD employs a double-blind peer review process, which is described at some length in the introductory editorial: David D'Cruz and Vitaly Ablamunits. Why do we need a new journal in autoimmunity. Journal of Autoimmune Diseases 2004, 1:1 JAD is an independent Open Access journal hosted by the for-profit Open Access publisher, BioMed Central. All BioMed Central Open Access journals address the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) concept through permanent archiving arrangements with PubMed Central, at the University of Potsdam in Germany, at INIST in France and in e-Depot, the National Library of the Netherlands' digital archive. Journal of Autoimmune Diseases - Fulltext v1+ (2004+); ISSN: 1740-2557.
