BioMed Central has launched the following new open access journal:

Title: Source Code for Biology and Medicine
Editor(s)-in-chief: Emmanuel Ifeachor, Leif Peterson
Abbreviation: Source Code Biol Med
ISSN: 1751-0473
URL: http://www.scfbm.org/home

This journal considers articles on all aspects of workflow for information systems, decision support systems, client user networks, database management, and data mining.

Source Code for Biology and Medicine aims to publish source code for free distribution and use in order to advance biological and medical research. Through this dissemination, it may be possible to shorten the time required for solving certain computational problems for which there is limited source code availability or resources.

Fundamentally, the overarching computation-related goals of the journal are to: - Increase productivity among source code users working on problems of public and environmental health importance
- Reduce discovery times in molecular and genomic sciences
- Reduce search times for source code applied in biological and medical research
- Provide a historical reflection of source code applied in various fields
- Serve as a repository for source code

Manuscripts submitted to the journal will be reviewed by at least two experts selected by the Editor-in-Chief, with the aim of reaching an editorial decision as soon as possible. The current articles are in their provisional PDF format, but the full-text and final PDF versions will be available shortly.
