Abstract
Critical Care: a good scientific citizen just got better
Highlights
Keywords Internet, open access, publishing In April 2003, Critical Care made two important changes: firstly, only the abstracts of research articles appear in print while the full text is open access; and secondly, all articles over two years old are free to access online – including commentaries, reviews and reports
Publishing research articles online as soon as they are ready means they are likely to be picked up by the most interested parties via searching well before they would have been available in print
Research articles published online were cited as “in press” until they were included in the print journal, at which point the allotted page numbers were incorporated to make the final citation
Summary
Keywords Internet, open access, publishing In April 2003, Critical Care made two important changes: firstly, only the abstracts of research articles appear in print while the full text is open access (freely and universally accessible online); and secondly, all articles over two years old are free to access online – including commentaries, reviews and reports. The move to have only the abstracts of research articles in the print journal with open access to full text online was logical.
