===BMC Series=== The BMC Series is a collection of several dozen online research journals published by BioMed Central.<ref name=bmc-series>{{cite web |url=http://www.biomedcentral.com/authors/bmcseries |title=The ''BMC''-series journals |publisher=BioMed Central |access-date=11 September 2012 |archive-date=10 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120910071022/http://www.biomedcentral.com/authors/bmcseries |url-status=live }}</ref> Like all other BioMed Central journals, they have a policy of open access to the research articles they publish. Between them, they cover all major subject areas within biology and medicine. Two of the journals, ''[[BMC Biology]]'' and ''[[BMC Medicine]]'', have a broad scope, and aim to publish particularly significant research. A third journal, ''BMC Research Notes'', publishes scientifically valid research outputs that cannot be considered as full research or methodology articles across all scientific and clinical disciplines,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Krüger |first1=Dirk |last2=Marshall |first2=Diana M |title=Bite-size research: BMC Research Notes goes back to its roots. |journal=BMC Research Notes |date=14 February 2017 |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=95 |doi=10.1186/s13104-017-2418-y |pmid=28193243|pmc=5307640 |doi-access=free }}</ref> while ''BMC Proceedings'' publishes conference proceedings and ''BMC Medical Research Methodology'' focuses on methodological approaches to healthcare research (especially methodology of [[epidemiological research]], [[Clinical trial|clinical trials]] and [[meta-analysis]]/[[systematic review]]).<ref>{{Cite web |title=BMC Medical Research Methodology |url=https://bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/ |access-date=2025-01-23 |website=BioMed Central |language=en}}</ref> The other journals specialise on a particular subject area.
