Established in 1996, Bioscientifica Ltd is the commercial subsidiary of the Society for Endocrinology, and provides publishing, events, and association management services to biomedical societies, and to the pharmaceutical industry.
[1][2] Although the company generates profits, these are redistributed to Bioscientifica's partner societies to fund biomedical research and practice.
[3] Bioscientifica publishes academic journals and case reports focused on endocrinology, and its intersecting disciplines.
In February 2012, the company was among the first 24 publishers to sign the STM Association's Sustainable Open Access Statement.
As part of its charitable remit, Bioscientifica participates in the HINARI programme, through which the publisher provides free access to its journals in developing countries.
