Vanderbilt’s Agreements Supporting Open Access Publishing

BMJ Case Reports, a journal published by BMJ, publishes real world case reports on common and rare conditions with a special emphasis on differential diagnosis, decision making, management, clinical guidelines, and pathology.

• Vanderbilt's agreement waives the publication fee but not the open access fee of 475 GBP. Authors are responsible for the open access fee.
• Access BMJ Case Reports.

How does it work?

• Only corresponding authors are eligible.
• Publishers use a variety of methods and tools to confirm eligibility. Whenever possible, we have identified eligible affiliated groups that might appear in the publisher's list (e.g. Peabody or Vanderbilt University Medical Center); however, to ensure that an author is recognized, it is best to select Vanderbilt University as the affiliation and use a Vanderbilt email address at the point of submission/acceptance. It is also recommended to include one's ORCID iD.
• BMJ Case Reports uses institutional fellowship codes.
• The corresponding author will need to contact the Eskind Biomedical Library for the institution's fellowship code. Please submit your request here.
