Open access option for authors
Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology authors have the option to publish their paper under the open access (OA) initiative; whereby, for a charge, their paper will be made freely available online immediately upon publication. Publishing OA offers several benefits for authors including:
- Increased visibility and accessibility: OA articles are freely available to anyone, removing any barriers to knowledge. This leads to increased readership and usage by a global audience, including researchers, students, policymakers, and the general public.
- Higher citation potential: OA articles tend to receive higher citation rates compared to articles published behind paywalls. This further boosts the impact and recognition of your work. A recent analysis has shown that, on average, OA articles in Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology were cited 5 times compared to non-OA articles which were cited 3 times, and OA reviews were cited 8 times compared to twice for non-OA reviews.
- Public engagement and societal impact: Publishing OA allows research to reach a broader audience beyond the academic field.
- For manuscripts with AANP members as an author(s), Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology will offset the costs for OA of up to 30 articles for the calendar year 2024.
- Compliance with funding agency policies: Many funding agencies and institutions now require research outputs to be published OA, as it aligns with the principles of public funding and maximizing societal and science progress.
