BioMed Central (BMC) is a UK-based scientific publisher specializing in open access publication. BMC publishes over 180 scientific journals, including Arthritis Research & Therapy, Breast Cancer Research, Critical Care, Genome Biology, Journal of Biology, Journal of Negative Results in BioMedicine, Malaria Journal, Molecular Cancer and the BMC journal series.

Whilst all research article content published by BioMed Central is open access, some journals contain review content available only by subscription.^[1] In addition, the publisher also offers subscription-only services such as Faculty of 1000 (a current awareness service highlighting recent biological research) and, in the past, Images.MD (a medical image database now published by Springer Science+Business Media).
