Summary:

[From PubMed] Online J Issues Nurs. 2011 Nov 23;17(1):8. Open access part I: the movement, the issues, and the benefits. Nick J. Abstract: “The advent of Open Access (OA) has changed the landscape of accessing digital information globally. OA offers valuable free, full-text, online resources for all health-related professionals, regardless of the practice setting. Because much scholarly information may now be accessed without charge, nurses worldwide can reach a higher level of information competency-a prime requirement for evidence-based practice. This article provides a brief account of the OA movement, introduces new terminology, discusses various publishing models, and elucidates issues surrounding the choice to publish in OA journals. Many stakeholders derive benefits from Open Access. Nursing must take action to participate in and promote the OA movement in order to derive the maximum gain for our science.” PMID: 22320874 [PubMed - in process] [The full text article is available from “The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing” at http://nursingworld.org/OJIN.]
