Abstract:
The open access publishing model provides readers of all backgrounds access to articles free of charge. To cover the costs of open access, however, many journals now charge substantial article processing fees. This has inadvertently created yet another barrier for trainees to engage in scholarly activity. Herein, we describe the issue, review the literature, and provide suggestions for addressing this barrier with the focus on the neurology specialty.

The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.
