Open Medicine
Launched in April 2007, Open Medicine is part of a new generation of open access peer-reviewed general medical journals. It publishes high-quality research and stimulating critical discourse about the scientific enterprise, as it seeks, ultimately, to hasten the progress and uptake of evidence and to distribute it more equitably around the world. Open Medicine was founded by a visionary group of former editors from the Canadian Medical Association Journal, along with colleagues from across Canada, who recognized the need for an independent voice in medical publishing. Open Medicine is a not-for-profit organization.
