The abstracts of the 14th Swiss Conference on Biomaterials will be published in a special supplement of the European Cells and Materials (ECM) free online journal.

International 'Open & Free Access' journal ECM, enables rapid publication of peer-reviewed papers to disseminate scientific knowledge world-wide without profit.

Ten good reasons for publishing a paper in ECM

World-wide ‘True Open & Free access to all’. 4931 registered readers (100 countries).
ECM is indexed in CAS, Index Medicus, Medline and Scopus databases and can be searched directly from Pubmed, DOAJ and Open J Gate.
ECM is now covered by ISI within: Science Citation Index Expanded, available as the ISI Web of Science, Materials Science Citation Index, Engineering Citation Index and ISI Alerting Services, Biosis Previews and Biological abstracts.
No submission or publication charges of any kind (incl. colour illustrations & videos).
Authors retain copyright to their articles.
Open high standard peer reviewing minimises both favouritism and prejudice.
Discussion with reviewers feature allows sensible arguments included in the paper.
Speed of publication (Usually 3 weeks after acceptance).
No payment for reprints: simply mail colleagues the web page address of the paper.
ECM was founded by scientists for the benefit of Science rather than profit.

European Cells & Materials provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for publication and discussion for researchers in the following fields:

Interaction of tissues, cells or bacteria with biomaterials (in vivo, in vitro, ex vivo).
Properties of bone, cartilage & connecting tissues, including ligaments & tendons.
Tissue engineering (scaffolds; stem cells & more differentiated cells; techniques including culture, implantation, bioreactors etc.)
Surface characterisation of biomaterials.

ECM carries original research papers, reviews, laboratory reviews and tutorials on the advances made in these fields of activity. All the articles are peer-reviewed by at least and reviewer comments, together with responses by authors, are published along with the paper. The main aim is to provide rapid publication and efficient dissemination of scientific knowledge. Subscription to the journal is free.

All the papers will be available in the Portable Document File (PDF) format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in order to be able to read them. The latest version of Adobe Acrobat may be downloaded directly from Adobe's own Website. No paper version of this journal is published. Readers may print out copies of individual papers. Authors do not need to send reprints, but simply mail the URL (web page address) where their paper is published.
