Agriculture at BMC: A new family of companion journals

At BMC, we are very excited to introduce a new family of companion journals in Agriculture and Livestock.

This new family builds on, and better connects, existing leader BMC journals in the field, and expands the portfolio with new high-quality gold open access journals, aiming to support the same community of scientists.

Aims and benefits:

  • A stronger and better connected community of key scientists supporting the journals
  • A wider choice available to researchers through a range of specialist journals
  • Enhanced collaboration between editors, reviewers, and authors 
  • More opportunities for collaboration through cross-journal collections
  • Better support to authors in directing them to the editors with the most suitable expertise to handle their submission and finding a manuscript its best home 
  • A more complete offering of journals with broader or more specialist scope, catering for a wider variety of research types.
