Summary:

"...Rachael Lowe has been pro-open access since the beginning of the creation of Physiopedia. With Michael Rowe at the helm, physical therapists are beginning to break into the world of open access publishing....Our profession is at the crossroads. Open access is definitely available. Why are researchers in the physical therapy world are not taking advantage of the rising demand? Do researchers see their work as a gift to the profession? Are researchers thinking of the final goal of their gift: to change the lives of patients? Is there some level of need for researchers to feel the prestige associated with a brand name traditional journal publication? Are universities not supporting open access publication as an acceptable option for grant funding and gaining tenure?...I have an action plan for 2018. I will be publishing one or two case studies in Physiopedia. I have cases that need to be published to help other clinicians. I’ll let the world edit and critique my case. The goal: provide a gift that helps change the lives of patients."
