BMC Veterinary Research is published by the for-profit Open Access publisher, BioMed Central (BMC). It is the first BMC journal specifically dealing non-human subjects. As with all of the BMC and BMC-hosted Open Access journals, long term Open Access is assured through a number of international archiving arrangements. PubMed Central, the premier US repository of free and Open Access journals and journal archives, has added BMC Veterinary Research to its archive.
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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
