The Journal serves wide ranges of international audiences of medical researchers, pharmaceutical employees, specialized and general clinicians. Submissions of papers in areas of basic medical sciences are welcomed as well as papers in clinical and experimental research related to the studies of human diseases. The Journal publishes in both online and print. The online version is open access to the public to maximize the distribution of information. Full texts of all articles will also be made available in PubMed Central, the US National Library of Medicine's biomedical journal information archive, and in the digital archive of National Library of Australia.'

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.
