Open access funding
Radiology Advances is fully open access, meaning your research is free to read and can be accessed globally for fellow researchers to read, share, cite, and build upon your findings.
Learn more about open access options, including whether you can publish open access for free as part of your institution’s inclusion in a read and publish agreement with Oxford University Press.
Global readership and promotion
Open access broadens the total reach of your article. Anyone can read your work. News outlets can easily reference your research to contribute to important stories and social media users can find and share your article, widening the potential audience.
Radiology Advances is currently indexed with Google Scholar and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), ensuring global visibility for the research we publish.
Increase the impact of your research
Publishing open access maximises discoverability of your work. A study in BMJ estimated that on average open access articles receive 89% more full-text downloads and 23% more unique visitors than articles published under traditional licenses. Higher visibility can lead to more citations. SPARC Europe estimates that open access articles receive on average 50% more citations.
Contribute to a multidisciplinary discussion
Unlimited access to scholarly data is crucial for the acceleration of medicine research. It also increases transparency and quality by enabling researchers to readily test their peers’ conclusions. Radiology Advances provides radiologists, imaging scientists, nuclear medicine physicians, trainees, physicists, and other medical imaging professionals with a global, open access forum.
Benefit to the public
Most funding for research is provided by governments, which means public money supports research that is often inaccessible behind paywalls. Publishing open access removes the barrier between research and the public. It maximizes the possibility that academia, industry and/or society will reap the benefits of your hard work.
