German Medical Science (GMS) is an electronic, interdisciplinary open-access portal of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF). It hosts e-journals of individual medical societies, abstracts and proceedings of scientific meetings, and medical research reports, and offers a web-based manuscript system that lets specialist groups run their own journal.

The portal serves medical scientists and the societies that edit its journals. Publication costs for peer review, production, hosting and archiving are partly recovered through publication fees, generally paid by the editing societies. The GMS journals and recent meeting publications have moved to the PUBLISSO platform; meetings published up to June 2025 remain in the portal's Meetings section.

The German Medical Science gGmbH operates the portal, with the editorial office at ZB MED in Cologne. It was developed with DIMDI and run in cooperation with BfArM and ZB MED, and was sponsored in its build-up phase by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Ministry of Health. Archival storage is provided on BfArM servers.
