BMJ Case Reports

Here is more information in BMJ Case Reports: https://libguides.nova.edu/c.php?g=112249&p=4733201. BMJ Case Reports accepts cases in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical specialties, so there are opportunities for students, staff and faculty in medicine, nursing, and public health. A full list of BMJ Case Reports' specialties can be viewed on their Specialty page.

BMJ Case Reports makes it easy to submit cases by providing templates for full cases, "Images in" cases and global health cases. These templates can be accessed, along with additional guidelines for writing, on the Instructions for Authors page. Follow these simple steps to submit your cases to BMJ Case Reports.

Other free/low cost publishing options

Cureus

NSU COM & CAM has a partnership with Cureus via the Flagship channel. However, not everything is free. There may be costs associated with some submissions based on number of pages, citations, etc. Here is the link to find out what is free: https://www.cureus.com/author_guide#!/overview/free-publication .

Green Open Access

if you are interested in publishing Green Open Access, almost any journal that requires a subscription has a Green OA option. Green OA allows you to archive, for free, your Author Accepted Manuscript into a subject or generalist repository (like NSUWorks, our institutional repository) with an embargo period. If your goal is to publish either for free or cheap, but also in a journal that has a high impact factor and you are not bound by a grant that requires immediate open-access publication, this is also an option.

Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

There are many free / reduced-cost open-access journals available for publishing. The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) has a filter for Diamond Open Access publishing (choose the link on the main page for “journals without APCs”). These journals are all sponsored journals meaning they are free to read AND free to publish in. You can use the left-hand tool bar to filter down by subject area, languages, peer-review types, and publishers.

You can always use Cabell’s and Ulrichsweb to get some history and more information about these journals, and, where possible, the Journal Citation Reports.
