Scope BMC Oral Health is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of disorders of the mouth, teeth and gums, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology. It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field. Editorial team Executive Editor Magdalena Morawska Editorial Board Manager Paul Lambert Journal Development Manager Genevieve Horne Senior Managing Editor Diana Marshall Publisher Jo Appleford-Cook Open access All articles published by BMC Oral Health are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Further information about open access can be found here. Authors of articles published in BMC Oral Health are the copyright holders of their articles and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate the article, according to the BioMed Central copyright and license agreement. For authors who are US government employees or are prevented from being copyright holders for similar reasons, BioMed Central can accommodate non-standard copyright lines. Please contact us if further information is needed. Article-processing charges Open access publishing is not without costs. BMC Oral Health therefore levies an article-processing charge of £1290/$2110/€1550 for each article accepted for publication. We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. Generally, if the submitting author's institution is a Member the cost of the article-processing charge is covered by the membership, and no further charge is payable. In the case of authors whose institutions are Supporter Members, however, a discounted article-processing charge is payable by the author. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.

Citing articles in BMC Oral Health Articles in BMC Oral Health should be cited in the same way as articles in a traditional journal. Because articles are not printed, they do not have page numbers; instead, they are given a unique article number. Article citations follow this format: Authors: Title. BMC Oral Health [year], [volume number]:[article number]. e.g. Roberts LD, Hassall DG, Winegar DA, Haselden JN, Nicholls AW, Griffin JL: Increased hepatic oxidative metabolism distinguishes the action of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta from Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma in the Ob/Ob mouse. BMC Oral Health 2009, 1:115. refers to article 115 from Volume 1 of the journal. Why publish your article in BMC Oral Health? High visibility BMC Oral Health's open access policy allows maximum visibility of articles published in the journal as they are available to a wide, global audience. Articles that have been especially highly accessed are highlighted with a 'Highly accessed' graphic, which appears on the journal's contents pages and search results. Speed of publication BMC Oral Health offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review; all articles must be submitted online, and peer review is managed fully electronically (articles are distributed in PDF form, which is automatically generated from the submitted files). Articles are published with their final citation immediately upon acceptance in a provisional PDF form. The article will subsequently be published in both fully browsable web form, and as a formatted PDF; the article will then be available through BMC Oral Health, BioMed Central and PubMed Central and will also be included in PubMed. Flexibility Online publication in BMC Oral Health gives authors the opportunity to publish large datasets, large numbers of color illustrations and moving pictures, to display data in a form that can be read directly by other software packages so as to allow readers to manipulate the data for themselves, and to create all relevant links (for example, to PubMed, to sequence and other databases, and to other articles). Promotion and press coverage Articles published in BMC Oral Health are included in article alerts and regular email updates. Some may be included in abstract books mailed to academics and are highlighted on BMC Oral Health's pages and on the BioMed Central homepage. In addition, articles published in BMC Oral Health may be promoted by press releases to the general or scientific press. These activities increase the exposure and number of accesses for articles published in BMC Oral Health. A list of articles recently press-released by journals published by BioMed Central is available here.
