PUBLISSO – Publishing open access for achieving the Sustainable Development goals (SDGS)

With its wide-ranging focus on life sciences, ZB MED is promoting "good health and well-being", as stated in SDG 3. At the heart of these medical publications, in-house publisher German Medical Science provides researchers and other interested parties with subject-specific or interdisciplinary journals. These include GMS German Medical Science, an interdisciplinary e-journal for all medical topics, and the GMS Journal for Medical Education, covering all aspects of medical training. Accompanying journal publications, editors and authors can choose from further life sciences-oriented topics and media on open access platform PUBLISSO. Authors are able to continuously update their research by using "living handbooks", while a similar tool to provide "living encyclopaedia" is currently being developed. With the "MAK Collection", occupational safety reports, their documentations and methods are made available. And since all publications will be long-term archived, this knowledge is also open to future researchers in medicine and other life sciences.
