Publishing & Open Knowledge

Publishing designed around trust, access and continuity.

Our role is to build the systems around scholarship without replacing the independent editorial judgement that gives scholarship credibility.

Publishing at BMU

More than journal hosting.

BMU's publishing model combines editorial independence with the infrastructure required to support trustworthy scholarly communication: journal platforms, policy systems, production, metadata, digital preservation planning, discoverability and post-publication stewardship.

Publishing integrity

The record must remain understandable after publication.

Publishing responsibility continues after an article goes online. Corrections, expressions of concern, retractions and other notices should be visible, appropriately linked and proportionate to the issue being addressed.
