An Attempt at Evaluating Whether the Open-Access Movement Has Erased the Boundaries in Neurology Research and Made It More Inclusive
Singapore, London (PRWEB) October 27, 2018 -- International Open Access Week (October 22-28, 2018), is an important yearly event that aims to build awareness about the open access movement, which is an invaluable attempt to connect the global scientific community, and frees it from the customary membership model of scholastic distributing. Open Access Week serves as a portal for all academics the open access network come together to keep this force moving. This year’s theme- “designing equitable foundations for open knowledge,” is an attempt at evaluating whether the open access movement has fulfilled its commitment of bringing inclusivity to the field of scientific research.
Omics International is pleased to announce the celebration of the Open Access Week; researchers, academics, and clinicians are invited to come forward and share their opinions and findings in the field of neurology.
Neurology deals with the anatomy, functions, disorders and diseases of the nervous system. In view of the ever increasing age of the population, more and more people will be affected by age-related neurologic disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. In the near future, diagnostic testing would hold the center stage in clinical neurology and would grow by leaps and bounds. It is likely that the field of Neurology is going to see an explosive growth in potential interventions, including novel drugs, immunosuppressant modalities, gene therapies, and human pluripotent stem cell technology in the near future.
This explosive growth cannot simply rely on the rapid turnover of articles; it needs to be buttressed by increased public engagement and visibility amongst the scientific community, all of which are guaranteed by the open-access format of publishing. Articles published in open-access journals are not only downloaded more, but also experience a more sustained number of downloads. Global science, technology, and medicine (STM) publishing is a $10 billion industry, whose market leaders enjoy double-digit profit margins; the open-access movement aims to shift the scales towards a more reader-friendly format.
Omics publishes some of the best Neurology journals, which showcase some of the most noteworthy articles in the field. These journals cover various aspects of neurology, such as neuro-physiology, neuro-imaging, neuro-pathology, clinical neurology, cognitive neuroscience, neuro-psychology, neuro-ethics, neurorehabilitation, neurological disorders, neuro-endocrinology, neuro-epidemiology, neuro-genetics, neuro-immunology, neuro-pharmacology, neuro-radiology, neuro-surgery, neuro-oncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, neuro-morphology, neuroinfectious diseases etc.
The articles published in these journals not only encapsulate the latest trends in Neurology, but also cover a broad-spectrum of neurological research ranging from basic to applied research and from clinical research to mathematical, computational, and experimental approaches. Neurology open access journals serve as an efficient efficient platform to build upon the existing research and discoveries in the field of neurology.
Omics International has entered into spirit of the Open Access Week with gusto and has planned several activities for its authors, reviewers, Editors, and readers. Dr. Srinubabu Gedela, CEO Pulsus and Omics, has announced special benefits during this week.
Publishing an article in any of the Neurology open access journals during the Open Access week would be indicative of the solidarity of the authors with the open-access movement. It would be a very good opportunity for authors who wish to try out the open access publishing format for the first time.
