Thejournal publishes all research study types, from protocols through phase I trials to meta-analyses, including small, specialist studies, and negative studies. Publishing procedures are built around fully open peer review and continuous publication, publishing research online as soon as the article is ready.
BMJ Open aims to promote transparency in the publication process by publishing reviewer reports and previous versions of manuscripts as pre-publication histories. Authors are asked to pay article-publishing charges on acceptance; the ability to pay does not influence editorial decisions.
RMD Open publishes high quality peer-reviewed original research covering the full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders, rheumatism and connective tissue diseases, including osteoporosis, spine and rehabilitation. Clinical and epidemiological research, basic and translational medicine, interesting clinical cases, and smaller studies that add to the literature are all considered.
It is an online only open access journal that aims to provide rapid publication of research through a continuous publication model. All submitted content is subject to peer review prior to publication. Published work is free to read.
The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal with a mission to publish high quality articles that focus on applied research, practice, and education in the occupational therapy profession. See About this Journal for more information.

The specific categories of articles published in OJOT include Applied Research (quantitative and qualitative), Guidelines for Practice and Technological Guidelines, Opinions in the Profession, Topics in Education, and Letters to the Editor. The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy is available to readers and researchers worldwide, regardless of affiliation with a subscribing library or institution, as an electronic journal that is easily accessible online. As an open-access publication, each edition of OJOT is available to readers for free.
The editors of OJOT invite you to submit articles in any of the categories listed above, for consideration by the OJOT Editorial Review Board and potential publication in a future issue. Of the last 100 submissions (as of 5/12/22), the acceptance rate of all peer-reviewed articles was 16%. The all-time acceptance rate is 43%. We are in the process of applying for an official impact factor from the Web of Science. In the meantime, we calculated from Google Scholar that the average number of times the 168 peer-reviewed articles published in OJOT between 2012-2017 have been cited is 4.26 (H-index 3.00). For more information on submitting an article for publication, see the Policies page.
The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy is published through Western Michigan University's (WMU) Department of Occupational Therapy (OT) in the College of Health and Human Services. The OT Department is the first and oldest non-teacher education program at WMU and the highest ranking OT program in Michigan by US News and World Report. Since 1922, the WMU OT program has been a leader and innovator in the field and our graduates have made significant contributions through the nation and the world.

The Open Journal of Mathematical Optimization (OJMO) publishes original and high-quality articles dealing with every aspect of mathematical optimization, ranging from numerical and computational aspects to the theoretical questions related to mathematical optimization problems. The topics covered by the journal are classified into four areas:
The journal publishes high-quality articles in open access free of charge, meaning that neither the authors nor the readers have to pay to access the content of the published papers, thus adhering to the principles of Diamond Open Access. The journal requires the numerical results published in its papers to be reproducible by others, ideally by publishing code and data sets along with the manuscripts.
Consider the problem of minimizing functions that are Lipschitz and convex, but not necessarily differentiable. We construct a function from this class for which the T iterate of subgradient descent has error Ω(log(T)/T). This matches a known upper bound of O(log(T)/T). We prove analogous results for functions that are additionally strongly convex. There exists such a function for which the error of the T iterate of subgradient descent has error Ω(log(T)/T), matching a known upper bound of O(log(T)/T). These results resolve a question posed by Shamir (2012).
We consider structured minimization problems subject to smooth inequality constraints and present a flexible algorithm that combines interior point (IP) and proximal gradient schemes. While traditional IP methods cannot cope with nonsmooth objective functions and proximal algorithms cannot handle complicated constraints, their combined usage is shown to successfully compensate the respective shortcomings. We provide a theoretical characterization of the algorithm and its asymptotic properties, deriving convergence results for fully nonconvex problems, thus bridging the gap with previous works that successfully addressed the convex case. Our interior proximal gradient algorithm benefits from warm starting, generates strictly feasible iterates with decreasing objective value, and returns after finitely many iterations a primal-dual pair approximately satisfying suitable optimality conditions. As a byproduct of our analysis of proximal gradient iterations we demonstrate that a slight refinement of traditional backtracking techniques waives the need for upper bounding the stepsize sequence, as required in existing results for the nonconvex setting.

Making bioresources more openly discoverable has enormous benefits not only for the research community and the wider public, but for the producers of the bioresources as well. Both the resources and the OJB papers are citable and this will be tracked to provide authors with metrics on reuse and impact.
