EMBO Molecular Medicine is a leading open access journal in the field of experimental medicine, advancing translational and biomedical research discoveries worldwide. Published articles include plain-language summaries to emphasise the major findings of a paper and their medical implications for non-specialist readers. Consultative manuscript transfers between EMBO Press journals and with Nature partner journals provide a clear, efficient path to publication. EMBO Molecular Medicine was the first fully open access journal dedicated to publishing highly selective translational research.
