Chemistry Central Journal evolves to BMC Chemistry
I am pleased to announce that as of January 2019, Chemistry Central Journal, an Open Access (OA) broad scope journal, publishing across all areas of chemistry, will be renamed to BMC Chemistry and will start publishing its first content immediately.
We are excited to welcome this journal in the BMC series family and can’t wait to work alongside Editors, authors and readers of this historic journal and the important community that it serves. BMC Chemistry will further strengthen the BMC series footprint in the physical sciences by publishing quality articles and by pushing the boundaries of open chemistry.
A brief histor...

It ’s not just about nutrients – the Journal of Ethnic Foods now open for submissions
This article contained an outline of the subsequent Seoul Declaration, which was the result of a cross-disciplinary effort by almost 100 experts. Of course more research is needed on this subject, but I think this article goes a long way towards promoting greater understanding of a local food tradition like the Korean one.
Why open access?
All the content published in this journal is ultimately about health, well-being, food safety and eating behaviors. We believe that a wider public of researchers, scholars and consumers should access to this kind of information and the open access model suits perfectly this purpose. Also...

How people try (but fail) to spot a lie
What a liar looks like
Before we start thinking about ways of detecting lies, we need to know a little about how the people around us actually lie. Researchers have given people diaries and asked them to record the lies and truths that they tell over a 24-hour period. What has been found across studies is that people tell the truth far more often than they lie.
It makes sense – the general purpose of language is to communicate what is in our head to another person, and a truthful account of what we are thinking does that best. Sometimes we fudge the details or outright lie, but that’s the exception, not the rule. We ne...

Tell us about your winning image from last year’s BMC ‘Research in progress’ photo competition
Sarah Boyle, winner of the ‘Research in progress’ photo competition 2017.
Breast cancer is the most widely diagnosed cancer in women world-wide, and despite advances in treatment, still remains a major cause of cancer-related death. My winning image, “I Heart Research”, was of a fluorescent mouse mammary tumor, captured during my studies into breast cancer progression. This mouse was genetically engineered to develop mam...

A new EiC and new identity for Cancer Nanotechnology
There have been some exciting developments recently for Cancer Nanotechnology. In August, the journal joined the BMC family of journals, and in doing so, became a part of a brand that has been a true innovator in open access publishing since its founding in the late nineties.
Itself a pioneer as a research venue at the intersection of cancer research and nanotechnology, Cancer Nanotechnology is naturally at home with BMC, and those of us working the journal are delighted to be a member of this prestigious family. We look forward to this new chapter in the journal’s life, and we invite you to learn more about our new fami...
