Editorial: The Future of Psychology as an Open Access Journal Welcoming Applied Neuroscience (Editorial)
Abstract
In my role
as editor in chief I want to take the chance to say a few words on behalf of
the entire SCIRP team. The current times and trends within the world of
academia are exciting. During the last few years various publishers followed
the Open Access model, which I myself have found a great step forward since day
one of its existence. Science is largely paid through money from the public and
thus the public should have free access to its outcome. That is the fairest approach
to it. Also, for a scientist it is much easier to distribute own work by simply
sending a link that allows the recipient to freely download the respective
article. In other words, Open Access is the future, which fortunately became
the present already.
