In my Bloglines – an online feed reader, I have some RSS feeds of latest articles from BioMed Central. I made a list some of latest BioMed Central articles subscribed by users.
As your additional information:
BioMed Central is an independent publishing house committed to providing immediate open access to peer-reviewed biomedical research.
All original research articles published by BioMed Central are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication. BioMed Central views open access to research as essential in order to ensure the rapid and efficient communication of research findings.
BioMed Central is committed to maintaining high standards through full and stringent peer review.
All research articles in BioMed Central’s journals receive rapid and thorough peer review. The detailed peer-review policy of each journal is the responsibility of the journal editor(s) concerned. Many journals operate traditional anonymous peer review. Others, including the medical BMC-series titles, operate ‘open peer review’, in which reviewers are asked to sign their reviews. For these titles, the pre-publication history of each paper (including submitted versions, reviewers’ reports and authors’ responses) is linked to from the published article.

Here are some of my suggestions:
- The number of subscribers are affected by journal quality.
- Maybe open access is not so popular right now.
- It is important only to medical researchers & librarians.
- They (clinicians) are too busy people..
- They don’t understand how to use RSS feeds.. (Web 2.0, the future of medicine and healthcare)
Do you have any suggestions?
