Celebrating the 10th anniversary partnership with BMC

JECCR 10 years2018 marks the 10th anniversary of the partnership between the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research (JECCR) and BMC. This partnership enabled the journal to transition from a printed version to an online open access journal freely available to all.

Over the past decade, the journal has established itself in the top quartile of the Oncology category of Journal Citation Reports. During this period, Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research has published novel, up-to-date studies ranging from basic to translational research as well as research on personalized medicine.

To mark this occasion, we are looking back at the journal’s milestone achievements and highlighting some of the best content from the past 10 years.
