Myomas Open Access Articles

Myomas are the benign tumors of uterus usually touching the female reproductive tract, exclusively in reproductive age group. They are often related with recurrent abortions, extreme blood loss during menstruation and dysmenorrhoea. Less frequently myomas are also accountable for primary infertility in small but significant proportion of patients, as pregnancies do happen after myomectomy in number of patients suffering from myomas especially submucous and intramural. 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.
