<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">What’s wrong?</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Many academics/institutions don’t have access to literature they need</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">The cost of closed journals is often prohibitively high</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">This lack of access is a global problem, especially in developing countries</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Closed journals may not be in the interest of the best research</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Researchers may lose rights to and control over their own work</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Yet, the alternative of Open Access publishing holds many concerns, especially for early-career researchers, including:</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">I will be hiding my work away in less visible (low prestige) journals.</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">I must relegate my work to low impact (low IF) journals.</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Peer review will be of low quality.</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">I will not get a job/grant/tenure.</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">It will cost too much.</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Myth 1</span></u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">: Open Access provides less visibility</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">By being open, you may in fact get more exposure (</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[http:''www.istl.org/10-winter/article2.html|Wagner 2010]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">, </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[https:''peerj.com/articles/175/|Piwowar and Vision 2013]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">)</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Myth 2</span></u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">: It would require publishing in low Impact Factor journals</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">The scientific community has begun to find IFs have extended </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2012/08/13/sick-of-impact-factors|well past their original intention]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">, and can often hide more than they reveal about the quality of the research.</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">But decide for yourself, and seek out journals with </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[http://figshare.com/articles/Open_Access_Journals_2013_Impact_Factors/1206415|impacts you desire]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">.</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Myth 3</span></u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">: Peer review at OA journals is poor quality</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Retraction rate is highest in high IF subscription journals</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">No controlled study comparing peer review in subscription vs. OA journals</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full|Bohannon `sting']] did not look at peer review in subscription journals</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Bohannon `sting' found reputable OA publishers rejected spoof paper</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Peer review can be very transparent in OA journals. E.g. you may be able to read the entire peer review history (all reviews and changes)</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">OA journals offering open peer review include </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[http:''www.biomedcentral.com|BioMed Central]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">, </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[https://peerj.com/|PeerJ]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">, </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[f1000research.com|F1000 Research]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">, and </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/|GigaScience]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">.

<u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Myth 4</span></u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">: I won't get a job, grants, or tenure</span><br />
* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Over 500 organizations and 12,000 individuals have signed the American Society for Cell Biology’s </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">[[am.ascb.org/dora|Declaration on Research Assessment]]</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">, pledging:</span><br />
# <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Not to consider journal-based metrics (JIF) in hiring, promotion, or funding decisions</span><br />
# <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">The content of a paper will be weighed more heavily in evaluations than the journal in which it was published</span><br />

* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 15.3333px;">Many OA journals do not charge.</span><br />
