[BMJ Open](http://bmjopen.bmj.com/) -- BMJ's new online-only, open
access journal -- has been launched. The journal will publish "all
research study types, from study protocols to phase I trials to
meta-analyses, including small or potentially low-impact studies".

In a move to promote greater transparency in the peer review process,
all published articles include the reviewers reports, responses from the
author and (where necessary) a further commentary by the reviewers.  All
reviewer reports include details of who has undertaken the review (name,
affiliation, and contact details.)

The article-processing charge for papers accepted for publication is
£1200.

All published articles are deposited in
[PMC](http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/) and made available in
[UKPMC](http://ukpmc.ac.uk/).  Articles are licenced under the Creative
Commons, attribution, Non-commercial licence.

Publication in BMJ Open meets the open access requirements of the
[Wellcome Trust](http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/) and the other members of
the [UKPMC Funders Group](http://ukpmc.ac.uk/Funders/).
