During Open Access week (October 24-30, 2016) we will be highlighting a number of guest posts from University of Iowa Faculty and Staff who have personal experience making their work Open Access.\u00a0\"marchini_leo_051716_200x300_0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I consider open access publishing a better way to share research findings, since by removing the financial barrier to access it allows for a larger audience to read and use the findings worldwide. It also allows for authors to share their publications more widely, by promoting it in research oriented social media and e-mailing it to groups of researchers in the same field, allowing for even more exposure.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, most journals in my research field are not open access. In a recent work with a broader focus, I searched for a journal capable of reaching a larger audience and then selected an open access Journal with a higher than average impact factor in my field. The submission process happened as usual, and the peer review was intense, but the manuscript was accepted after a couple review rounds.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, the publication fees for this journal would be a problem if I was not supported by the\u00a0<\/span><\/em>UI Libraries\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Open Access Fund<\/a>. My experience with the Open Access Fund was amazing! I applied and got funded really fast!<\/em><\/p>\n

Since then the article has been published and received great attention from the scientific community in many countries, as we had a lot of comments and requests for additional information through channels that would not be available for non-open access articles, like researcher networks. I hope it will reflect in more citations in the near future.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
