    Brief

    Jisc Services Limited is contracting with BMJ Publishing Group Limited to provide Jisc member institutions with access to BMJ's online journals at reduced subscription rates and the ability to publish open access articles in these journals. This agreement offers member institutions flexibility to choose between open access publishing options or read-only access to journal content. The contract is administered through Jisc Services Limited (a Jisc subsidiary) and is exclusively available to Jisc member institutions for their use, not for Jisc's own operations. This opportunity enables UK higher education and research institutions to reduce publishing costs while maintaining quality journal access.
