gms released
With gms an interdisciplinary e-journal that addresses all those who work on and with scientific publications emerges for the entire field of medicine. Original papers and surveys that have passed through a peer review are published therein. Medical publications are available worldwide and free of charge in no time at all.
The AWMF and their expert associations supply the Editoral Board, the Scientific Committee as well as the experts for the peer review procedure. The editorial work and the workflow is in the hands of the ZBMed. DIMDI is responsible for the entire technical realization (hardware and software) of German Medical Science, i.e. for the standardization and implementation of workflows as well as the long-term archiving of electronic documents.
Starting July 1, 2003 the first publications of gms will be available on the internet under www.egms.de. With the start of the new journal the three cooperation partners have successfully put a publication procedure into practice that was recommended by the universities and other higher education institutions e.g. in November 2002.
In the third quarter of 2003 both the first electronic journals of member associations of AWMF and the first scientific conferences are to appear under the umbrella of gms.
