Working for you

ZB MED is a pioneer in the field of open access publishing in Germany. For more than a decade it has been offering scientists and researchers the opportunity to publish their work in accordance with the principles of open access through its GMS publishing platform. The fact that ZB MED was involved in key scientific policy-making committees right from the very start highlights its commitment to open access. We pass on information from the relevant committees on key findings, innovations and policy guidelines at conferences and other events, and we steadily implement these new developments in our life sciences publishing platforms. We also believe strongly in fostering cooperation. That's why we have established close ties with the scientific and research communities to develop synergies and make the services we offer attractive to our target group, which primarily consists of researchers and key disseminators of open access issues.
