Benefits of publishing with EMM
Experimental & Molecular Medicine (EMM) is committed to publishing high quality, independently peer-reviewed research and review material.
The journal is published in partnership with Springer Nature, which uses pioneering technologies, innovative formats and world class production to provide premium information for scientific researchers in the public and private sectors, government agencies and educators.
A key strength of Springer Nature is its close relationship with the scientific community. Working closely with scientists, listening to what they say, and always placing emphasis on quality rather than quantity, has made Springer Nature the leading scientific publisher at finding innovative solutions to scientists' information needs, both for the Nature-branded publications and those published on behalf of society partners, including KSBMB.
Publishing with Experimental & Molecular Medicine and Springer Nature provides an author with a wide range of benefits:

Research Summaries
Nature Research is committed to broadening the accessibility of research papers and reviews to as many readers as possible, thereby facilitating the widest dissemination of knowledge.

A Research Summary is a professionally written, 100-150 word synopsis of a selected article that succinctly provides information to the reader about the aims, main outcomes and significant conclusions of the article. Published under a Creative Commons license, authors and others will be able to re-use, re-post, host and email Research Summaries to highlight the value of their work.
