The NIHR has agreed a membership arrangement with BioMed Central to support publication of research articles in the publisher’s open access journals.
Under the terms of the NIHR's Supporter Membership arrangement, all NHS researchers supported by the NIHR and its partners will benefit from a 15% discount on publication fees when publishing in any of BioMed Central’s 200 peer-reviewed open access journals. Researchers are expected to acknowledge NIHR support.
A list of open access articles by NIHR-funded researchers recently published in BioMed Central journals can be found on the institution’s BioMed Central Member Page: http://www.biomedcentral.com/inst/37456

JISC national e-books observatory project
In January 2008, The University of Nottingham joined 126 other UK institutions to take part in a project (the largest study of its kind) to investigate and observe how over 50,000 participants used a selection of academic electronic textbooks. It aimed to assess the impacts on print sales, library circulation data, and business models, and the related consequences for librarians and publishers.
26 electronic texts in four subject areas, including Medicine, were made freely available to these institutions for the duration of the project. Now ended, please follow the link for the latest findings from the project: http://www.jiscebooksproject.org
