Summary
Open Access (OA) literature is crucial for dental professionals. Understanding OA concepts and resources helps maximize research impact and avoid predatory publishing risks.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Scholarly Communication
- Dental Research
Background:
- Open Access (OA) is increasingly mandated by funders and institutions.
- OA represents a significant shift in scientific communication.
- Awareness of OA concepts is vital for dental stakeholders.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inform dental stakeholders about Open Access concepts and research.
- To guide effective utilization of OA resources in dentistry.
- To address the challenges posed by predatory publishing.
Main Methods:
- Narrative review of published journal articles.
- Analysis of relevant online materials and OA policies.
- Discussion of OA trends, benefits, and challenges in dentistry.
Main Results:
- OA offers benefits like a 'citation advantage'.
- Predatory publishing poses a threat to dental research integrity.
- Current OA landscape in dentistry is discussed with recommendations.
Conclusions:
- Knowledge of OA is essential for dental researchers and users.
- Effective use of OA minimizes research waste.
- Collaborative efforts are needed to combat predatory publishing in dentistry.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
