Abstract

<i>JABFM</i> seeks to widely disseminate its peer-reviewed publications, increasing article visibility for the purpose of advancing scientific knowledge. We describe the journal's approach to dissemination and recommend a number of strategies for authors to implement, including press releases and social media. Providing the article's digital object identifier (DOI) is most useful, compared with links that can break, or attaching the article PDF, which will depress reader metrics. All <i>JABFM</i> articles are freely accessible online worldwide.
