BioMed Central today launched a new portal focused on Open access and the developing world. This new website calls attention to the benefits of open access to the scientific and medical literature for the developing world.

Open access and the developing world brings together the latest relevant research articles from BioMed Central’s open access journals, newsfeeds, author profiles, resources and a new section of the BioMed Central blog, which will provide a regular round-up of news and resources relating to open access and the developing world.
