  • Epidemiology and health outcomes
  • Nephrogenetics and genomics
  • Geriatric and palliative nephrology

BMC Nephrology scope and ethos

BMC Nephrology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of kidney and associated disorders, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology. 

The journal and our editors do not make editorial decisions on the basis of the interest of a study or its likely impact. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles, this includes a scientifically sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field.

Criteria

We are interested in candidates who are committed to open access publishing, data sharing, and innovation in scientific publishing.

Suitable candidates should:

  • have a minimum of fifteen (15) publications in reputable, English language, peer-reviewed journals;
  • be frequently listed as a corresponding author (first or last author) during the last five years;
  • have demonstrable expertise that fits within the scope and the need of the journal.

Suitable EBMs for BMC Nephrology must also:

  • adhere to our strong values of improving transparency, integrity and reproducibility of animal research;
  • support the journal’s ethos, scope, editorial standards, and policies, and be committed to representing BMC Nephrology within the scientific community;
  • provide a professional and supportive service to our authors and ensure that manuscripts fulfil the requirements of the Journal and are handled efficiently and appropriately through peer-review.

What does being an EBM involve? 

The EBM is primarily responsible for assessing manuscripts for their suitability for peer review, selecting suitable reviewers who meet the journal’s requirements and recommending decisions on the basis of peer reviewers’ reports and their own assessment while adhering to the journal’s editorial policies. 

An EBM for BMC Nephrology should be willing to handle a minimum of twelve (12) manuscripts per year and accept/decline invitations promptly.  Further information about manuscript handling responsibilities can be found here.

We also encourage all of our EBMs to take an active interest in journal development and promotional projects to help increase the visibility of our published research.

Our EBMs will be provided with access to training materials, and our in-house editorial team will also provide administrative support. The EBM will report to the Editor of the journal.
