Bone Inflammation Open Access Articles

It is the case in which generally there is an inflammation of the bone marrow. It can be of different types generally based on the microorganism causing it, pus formation or increase in density of the bone. Inflammation which is present for over a month is referred to as Chronic Osteomyelitis. The microorganisms mainly infect the bone via the bloodstream. Once the bone is infected the lymphocytes enter the site of infection to engulf the infectious organisms and thus release enzymes which lyses the bone. 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.
