Submissions from medRxiv
Authors are now able to submit manuscripts to Genome Medicine directly from medRxiv without having to re-upload files.
Portable peer review
To reduce time spent on serial submissions and iterative reviewing, Genome Medicine offers to consider manuscripts on the basis of reviews received at other journals. We also support transfers of reviews obtained at Genome Medicine to other journals, including those outside of BMC and Springer Nature. Learn more from our peer review policy page.
