It's International Open Access Week, and we are sharing our new approach to open access publishing at the Journal of Global Surgery. We believe academic publishing can be more affordable, equitable and sustainable, without compromising on quality.
Our unique sustainable community-funded model is already proving successful. With a funding target of just $76 per article, our review of 40 articles found 330 community contributions, with open-access funding completed in a median of just 1.7 days.
Surgical innovation shouldn't depend on expensive, disposable tools. A new JoGS study tests a reusable suturing device for pelvic organ prolapse repair, designed with low-resource settings in mind. Help unlock the $76 community paywall:
