Aims of the day
• An opportunity for Editors of journals published by BioMed Central to:

• 60+ open access journals spanning biology and medicine with over 2000 submissions per month. As a group the journals function as a ‘megajournal’.
• Aim is to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge with less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
• Section Editors and Associate Editors handle peer review, facilitated by an in-house Executive Editor, and Journal Editorial Office support
