Benefits of supplementsIsobel Peters, Senior Projects Manager
19 May 2015
• Separate issue featuring content which may not fit the main journal. For example it may be:
- of specialist interest
- paid for centrally by an organization, or sponsored
- peer reviewed by a different process (to journal standards)
• Editors retain full control – may request changes or reject articles or abstracts
• Two main types: articles or meeting abstracts
What is a supplement?
How do we produce them?
Specialist team at BioMed Central provides support
Aim to allow some flexibility in the process
Follow up for repeat publications
• Bring additional content to the journal
• Create new connections/relationships with organizing groups
Benefits to the journal
In 2011 Microbial Cell Factories published proceedings of the International Symposium on Lactic Acid Bacteria as a supplement. The journal then published the proceedings from the next symposium in 2014.
• Widen exposure to new audiences
Benefits to the journal
For both supplements, we produced printed copies which were distributed at the symposium.
• Present PR/social media promotion opportunities
Benefits to the journal
For the 2014 supplement one of the Supplement Editors wrote a blog.
• Accesses and citations
Articles in supplements do count towards the journal’s impact factor. (Short conference abstracts do not.)
Benefits to the journal
Other benefits:
•Underline journal scope and encourage submissions in a specific area
•Offer exchange marketing opportunities with conferences
