Open Access. Open Science. Open Urology

"The growth of social media, increasing portability of information, and the expanding body of quality OA literature forces the inevitability of open science. With time, the gravity of greater influence and portability inherent to OA will pull authors to OA formats. The most impactful journals will be those renovating their publishing paradigm to meet authors at the center of the pursuit for open science. In the process, individual authors will gain more influence and individual journals will enjoy more prestige. Fortunately, our patients stand to benefit the most."
