Physiospot is Going Open-Access – Betty Roche

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-05-30

Summary:

"At Physiopedia we believe sharing knowledge is essential for our profession to evolve and help improve global health. It is the foundation we are built upon and we are proud of our community. We achieve great things thanks to our fantastic team of committed like minded volunteers and to our readers. But things could be better and that’s why in the research section, Physiospot will share open access content only.

It is important to say that this change in approach is not due to anything other than making our resource more relevant to all of our readers. It is not about “greedy publishers vs open accessors” or us beginning to engage in topical debate. It is simply us recognizing that our content needs to be useful and ultimately clinically impactful. By sharing new research which is available to all of us, we can discuss, evaluate and unite over the latest research. We can work together as a community to evaluate and discuss the content which will hopefully improve clinical practice around the world.

The world of open access research is murky to say the least but rest assured, we have high standards at Physiospot and we promise to make sure only the best is shared. We recognize that the open access philosophy is fraught with issues but we aren’t making this decision hastily, we are ready to take the leap, come and join us."
