BMC in the community
When we can, our editors like to get out and about and talk publishing with the people who really matter most – you, our authors, readers, reviewers and academic editors. As such, we’ve been off around the globe – from Paris to Portland – meeting up with just a few of you in a wide variety of research areas:

Thank you
Finally, nothing in the huge body of research published across theBMC-series this year would have been possible without the dedication and hard work of all members of our Editorial Boards, as well as the many authors and referees that have contributed to the running of these journals. All of our in-house staff would like to extend our enormous appreciation for all of your efforts over the past year, and we very much look forward to working with you to make 2013 even more successful.
Happy New Year!
