BMJ is a pioneer and champion of open access. We support and promote a future built on the principle of unrestricted access to the outputs of medical research, encouraging scientific discourse and facilitating further medical advances. 

Amplify the impact of your work

Publishing open access with BMJ means more visibility and impact for your research. This can lead to more citations and additional benefits that go beyond the academic impact. Unrestricted access to research output allows others to build on your research, paving the way for important discoveries and improving patient care.
