Let’s hear from Christopher Kellner , Mount Sinai Hospital, about this 2018 article published in Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery
“ I think [open access] is a great option to increase the reach and impact of [an] article.”
Christopher Kellner is an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is also a cerebrovascular neurosurgeon at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, USA. How do you envision your research contributing to the broader field or addressing real-world issues? This study was one of the largest and earliest prospective studies to evaluate a novel portable stroke detection device. There have been many attempts since to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of various technologies to achieve improved portable stroke diagnosis for early treatment and triage but thus far, no device has demonstrated adequate levels of accuracy. The space is still very much wide open. What do you see as the benefits of open access publishing compared to traditional publishing models? Open access makes something immediately accessible to the world and more sharable through social media. Non-open access articles, even when viewed by individuals who are part of an academic institution, remain behind a paywall and are not easily sharable. What advice would you give to other researchers who are considering publishing their work in open access formats for the first time?
