Dear Colleagues,

About one and half year ago, we launched an open access journal Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research (BCBCR). This was the first open access journal solely devoted to breast cancer research. I am happy to report that since then we have published 19 peer reviewed manuscripts, which has been very well received by breast cancer researchers, breast cancer survivors and clinicians.

Our next goal is to get BCBCR indexed in major scientific databases such as PubMed, and establish an impact factor for this journal. Towards this goal, I invite you to submit your manuscripts, which can be on any subject related to breast cancer, and can be a research article, short note, review, minireveiw, commentary and perspectives, visions, reflections and relevant hypotheses. As a fellow breast cancer researcher, I applaud your research and efforts to develop cures for breast cancer. I also know that how critical it is get your finding published in a timely manner, which can benefit everyone including authors and readers.

We make every effort to peer review your manuscript and publish it as soon as possible. Apart from your fellow researchers, let the breast cancer patients and survivors know about your research, your contributions and efforts to develop cures for breast cancer.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research?

* Full open access: everyone can read your article and you retain copyright in it
* Publishing decision within 2 weeks of submission
* Your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space and will be published immediately on acceptance
* Prompt and fair peer review from two expert peer reviewers
* Frequent updates on your paper’s status
* Friendly responsive staff

Aims and scope:

Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research is a journal that publishes papers in the area of breast cancer research and treatment.

What a previous author said:

"The publishing process of this journal was a most pleasant and productive experience. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates of the progress of my submission. Many other journals receive a submission and authors may not hear anything for months. I appreciate your notification policy."

In summary:

The advantages of a younger journal such as Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research are numerous but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match.

Timing and deadlines:

Submissions are welcomed at any time. Papers are published on an on-going basis.
