Open Access Publishing in Medicine

Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

OA method of publishing is here to stay, although the actual transition from traditional subscription based publication would probably take many more years to achieve. There are still many unresolved problems in relation to various aspects of OA journals, as it is still the early phase of evolution. In developing countries, Gold OA journals that do not require APC would be the ideal solution for clinicians and researchers with limited financial resources. The journal will have to be sponsored by professional bodies or advertisements. This model will allow the journal publisher to maintain high scientific and ethical standards of published material while allowing immediate and free access to all the readers.
