International Archives of Medicine – a new journal with a twist (and twin)

We are pleased to announce International Archives of Medicine, a new open access journal published by BioMed Central and encompassing all aspects of medical science and clinical practice.

International Archives of Medicine has a unique relationship with Archivos de Medicina, a Spanish-language open access journal. Both journals publish original articles, but authors of articles accepted by Archivos de Medicina have the option of publishing English translations of their articles in International Archives of Medicine without a new round of peer review (the translation’s quality will be checked), and vice versa.

Translated articles published in International Archives of Medicine will link to the original Spanish-language article via the latter’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI). BioMed Central’s Independent Journals team would be happy to discuss further ideas concerning bi-lingual journal twins.  

For further information about the journal please read the launch Editorial by Editor-in-Chief Manuel Menéndez González (Hospital Álvarez-Buylla, Mieres, Spain), who is supported by an international Editorial Board. Readers interested in keeping abreast with the latest developments of this exciting new journal can register to receive regular alerts.
