Bentham Science is pleased to announce an Institutional Member Partnership with the Chinese institution, Xiangtan Central Hospital. The partnership makes Xiangtan Central Hospital the first institution from China to join hands in this program. Our Institutional Membership program gives the opportunity to the researchers, from the institution, to publish their research under an Open Access license with specified fee concessions. Bentham Science Publishers welcomes all institutional members from Xiangtan Central Hospital to share their research with our global readership. As a scientific publisher, we will continue to make transformative agreements with established institutions in China and around the world with the goal of easing barriers for member researchers to publish their research.
