Environmental Epigenetics update

The journal Environmental Epigenetics, published by Oxford University Press, was founded in 2015 and its first issue published the fall of that year. Since then we have continuously published four issues per year and the journal has grown. Upon fulfilling the application criteria, we applied for inclusion in PubMed Central (PMC) and we are very pleased to announce that the journal was accepted and is now live in PMC. The journal successfully passed the scientific evaluation phase in 2017; however due to factors beyond the journal’s control, following OUP’s move to the new Oxford Academic platform, Environmental Epigenetics experienced a delay in being set up in PMC. All previously published articles are now discoverable in PubMed and PMC. All future published material will automatically be deposited in PMC and will appear on PubMed as well. This is a significant advance for Environmental Epigenetics and we hope will increase submission rates and the volume of published articles. The journal very much appreciates the efforts of our OUP publishing staff for their continuous efforts to get this PMC access and allow the journal to complete its open access mission. Our OUP team also see this as a positive step for the journal, stating ‘We are pleased that Environmental Epigenetics is now discoverable in PMC, bringing the journal’s cutting-edge research to a wider readership’.
