Neurobiological Disorders Open Access Articles

An abnormal functioning or illness of the nervous system which is generated by genetic, metabolic or other biological factors termed as neurobiological disorders. These disorders interferes with normal brain chemistry. Basically these disorders are not the result of interactions, poverty or other deficiency. They occur because of numerous biological modifications takes place in the chemistry of the brain. Even these disorders been well researched and medically recognized also. Asperger syndrome is one of the common example of neurobiological disorders. Open access to the scientific literature means the removal of barriers (including price barriers) from accessing scholarly work. There are two parallel “roads” towards open access: Open Access articles and self-archiving. Open Access articles are immediately, freely available on their Web site, a model mostly funded by charges paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is “self-archiving” (i.e., to publish in a traditional journal, where only subscribers have immediate access, but to make the article available on their personal and/or institutional Web sites (including so-called repositories or archives)), which is a practice allowed by many scholarly journals. Open Access raises practical and policy questions for scholars, publishers, funders, and policymakers alike, including what the return on investment is when paying an article processing fee to publish in an Open Access articles, or whether investments into institutional repositories should be made and whether self-archiving should be made mandatory, as contemplated by some funders.
