This paper was published in JAN as an OnlineOpen paper. OnlineOpen provides full access to a paper, for free, to non-subscribers of JAN. OO papers are hallmarked in the print journal and highlighted in JAN Online with a purple-coloured padlock marked OPEN. Open access requires the author or the author’s funding agency or institution to pay the publisher a fee. But the selection, editorial and production processes are otherwise as usual.

Open access publishing argues that science should be publicly available, especially as much of it is publically funded. The UK Open Access Implementation Group’s most recent report concludes that it is making an important contribution (http://open-access.org.uk/) and the accumulating international evidence is now suggesting it improves speed of uptake as well as scale.

Beecroft et al’s JAN paper certainly has gathered citations more quickly in its first 3 years than the average JAN paper, already with nearly 30 citations. Of course we don’t know if it would have been cited just as much had it been published in the ordinary way. After all, this paper contains interesting data and nursing staff turnover is a hot topic worldwide.

Nurse researchers certainly should be putting the cost of open access into their research budgets if not already doing so.
