FAIRsharing record for: Springer Nature - BioMed Central - Editorial Policies

This FAIRsharing record describes: BMC publishes over 250 journals across biology, health sciences and medicine.
Submission of a manuscript to a BMC journal implies that materials described in the manuscript, including all relevant raw data, will be freely available to any scientist wishing to use them for non-commercial purposes, without breaching participant confidentiality.

For all journals, BMC strongly encourages that all datasets on which the conclusions of the paper rely should be available to readers, and where there is a community established norm for data sharing, BMC mandates data deposition (for data types with required deposition, see below).

We encourage authors to ensure that their datasets are either deposited in publicly available repositories (where available and appropriate) or presented in the main manuscript or additional supporting files, in machine-readable format (such as spreadsheets rather than PDFs) whenever possible. This journal publisher recommends 1) the resources listed directly within this record, and 2) all resources listed in this record's parent policies (see the "extends" relationship).
