Bernd Sebastian Kamps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernd Sebastian Kamps (born 1954) is a German medical doctor and online medical journal publisher.
After graduating from the medical school of the University of Cologne [citation needed], Kamps practiced medicine at the clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Frankfurt. Subsequently, Kamps became director of the International Amedeo Literature Service, a medical journal aggregator designed to compile research from notable medical journals and to organize the research by subject [citation needed], making such research available for free download. Kamps later founded Flying Publisher, which disseminates Amedeo collections via e-mail, including to medical students and doctors without access to textbooks, and also subsidizes the wiki-style production of textbooks, which are made available free-of-charge online.
Kamps himself has been the lead author of several Flying textbooks, including the medical textbooks HIV Medicine 2005 [1] and Influenza Report 2006 [2]. In 2006, Kamps created the Amedeo Textbook awards for physicians who publish free medical textbooks on the Internet.
