Reasons to publish
Open access
Research articles published in our journals are freely available online to the entire global research community. They are available via EMJ's website, as well as in many other major international archives.
Rapid publication
Online submission, electronic peer review and production make the process of publishing your article simple and efficient.
Quality, reputation and high standard of peer review
All our journals have a high standard of peer review. The precise form of peer review is left to those responsible for editorial control of the individual journal. Each journal has its own peer review policy.
All our journals boast strong Editorial Boards who help with policy and decision-making, and in some cases help with choosing referees and reviewing manuscripts.
High visibility and international readership in your field
Our open access policy ensures high visibility and maximum exposure for your work - anyone with online access can read your article.
You retain copyright, licensing the article under a Creative Commons license
This means that articles can be freely redistributed and reused as long as the article is correctly attributed. For example, a published article can be posted on a personal or institutional homepage, emailed to friends and colleagues, printed and sent to people, archived in a collection, distributed on CD-ROM, included in course-packs, quoted in the press, translated and further distributed as often and widely as possible.
Publishing online means unlimited space for figures, extensive data and video footage.
Promotion of your articles
Articles are widely promoted through
email updates, table of contents, email alerts, postings on our homepage, and press releases to the general and scientific press - all resulting in increased levels of access for each article. Our
journals are also promoted at many major scientific conferences to bring your work to the attention of professionals in your field. You can also promote your article via your own email lists, online
links, listserves, distribution at conferences and any other innovative techniques you wish to adopt.
