Biomedical Digital Libraries is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers manuscripts on all aspects of digital library content and usage in biomedical settings, including academic medical centers, research and development institutes, and health care institutions. Biomedical Digital Libraries will provide a forum for the discussion of unique considerations of biomedical information needs, and both opportunities and constraints presented by health care settings. The research results of collaborative initiatives with information technology and informatics partners are appropriate and encouraged. Publication of research articles by Biomedical Digital Libraries is dependent on either scientific validity or analytical coherence, as judged by their reviewers. Biomedical Digital Libraries provides a legitimate alternative to traditional print journals in the field, which have subscription fees and assumption of copyright by the publisher. This journal will stress Open Access to research and practice in biomedical libraries, and will permit rapid and unimpeded dissemination of knowledge.
