Abstract

Scientific publication has evolved substantially in response to the digital revolution, with print journal subscriptions replaced by subscriptions to online content. In recent years, many journals have switched to the “open access” model, where online content is freely available to all. Open access is a welcome step toward open and accessible science, but in practice, most journals have simply shifted the cost burden from institutions to individual labs who contribute the science. Challenges and new models of scientific publishing will be discussed using Imaging Neuroscience as an example of one journal’s transition from subscription to open access to nonprofit publishing.

Description

Shella D. Keilholz received her B.S. degree in physics from the University of Missouri Rolla (now Missouri University of Science and Technology) and her Ph.D. degree in engineering physics at the University in Virginia. Her thesis focused on quantitative measurements of perfusion with arterial spin labeling MRI. After graduation, she went to Dr. Alan Koretsky’s lab at the NIH as a Postdoctoral Researcher to learn functional neuroimaging. She is currently a Professor in the joint Emory/Georgia Tech Biomedical Engineering Department, Atlanta, GA, USA and Program Director for the 9.4 T MRI. Her research seeks to elucidate the neurophysiological processes that underlie the BOLD signal and develop analytical techniques that leverage spatial and temporal information to separate contributions from different sources. She is a senior editor at Imaging Neuroscience (formerly at NeuroImage) and on the editorial board of eLife, Network Neuroscience, and eNeuro.
