Proposed merge with BMC journals

Only short stub that could easily be accommodated in the article on the publisher (much of it is already there). Randykitty (talk) 15:11, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, not notable independently of the publisher of all of those journals. Jinkinson talk to me 21:48, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support: lists are not supposed to be an exhaustive directory (WP:NOTDIR); if entries are not going to be discussed, just pointing to the Category:BioMed Central academic journals suffices. Fgnievinski (talk) 01:01, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Open peer review section - grammatical error

While I'm not 100% sure of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policies, I feel I probably have a CoI when it comes to editing pages about academic publishers, as I work for one myself. However, I've spotted a grammatical error in the last sentence of the "Open peer review" section - "With currently 70 BMC journals operating fully open peer review." doesn't seem to me to be a grammatically correct sentence, as it's missing a clause. Could a passing editor maybe edit this? (or alternatively let me know if it's actually perfectly fine for me to do so, I'm aware I could be being overly cautious) Parcedits (talk) 19:12, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. (I wouldn't think that working in the same field is on its own enough to be a CoI, but it's a "common sense test", so who knows.) Joe D (t) 19:40, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated! I might well be being overly cautious, but would prefer that to stepping over the line. Parcedits (talk) 07:44, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
