Unlocking the value of medical case reports: BioMed Central launches Cases Database

« BioMed Central the open access publisher today announced the launch of a valuable new medical resource, Cases Database. Cases Database is a freely accessible and continuously updated tool, developed by BioMed Central, which allows clinicians, researchers, teachers and patients to explore thousands of peer-reviewed medical case reports from multiple journal publishers, including BioMed Central, Springer and BMJ Group.

The launch of BioMed Central’s open access Journal of Medical Case Reports (JMCR) in 2007 drew attention to the valuable role that case reports can play in advancing medical understanding. Since then, case report publishing has become a burgeoning field and with the introduction of Cases Database, BioMed Central is now making the universe of published case reports even easier to explore.
