Give Your Research Even More Exposure
JFAS Offers New Open Access You can now publish your research in The Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery (JFAS) as a traditional subscription article or as an Open Access article. Open Access means readers worldwide, not just JFAS subscribers, will have free, immediate and permanent access to your article through ScienceDirect.com, which in turn leads to more article citations and downloads. Open Access also increases scientific inquiry and collaboration because more readers will see your article. D. Scot Malay, DPM, MSCE, FACFAS, JFAS Editor, notes that many sources
of research funding now require the studies they support to be published as Open Access. “Open Access could improve the chance that your work will be funded,” he says. And when JFAS studies receive widespread exposure and adequate funding, foot and ankle surgery advances and the College’s reputation as the voice of the profession is strengthened. ACFAS members receive a 50 percent discount on the cost for Open Access publication. Visit jfas.org for more information on Open Access publishing in the Journal or to submit your article.
