As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time. Thank you.

Call for Papers: Pre-Clinical and Basic Research
We are pleased to announce the opening of the new Pre-Clinical and Basic Research section in BMC Urology, led by Prof. Kenneth Iczkowski. We encourage authors to upload relevant reporting checklists (e.g. ARRIVE) when submitting to this section. Where appropriate, the Landis 4 criteria (randomisation, blinding, sample size calculation, and inclusion/exclusion criteria - https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11556 ) should be covered in the methods.

Did your research give you data you couldn't find a home for?
Perhaps the outcome was unexpected? Or maybe you haven't had a chance to analyse it? Or it just didn't make it into the final paper?
Interesting data often gets overlooked. By publishing it as a data note in BMC Research Notes it can be found in PubMed, SCImago, Scopus and other indexing services.
