“…Pioneers among OA medical journals include the Journal of Clinical Investigation, which in 1996 became the first major journal to be freely available on the web. Of note, publication in the journal was free to authors initially, but APCs were introduced after the journal lost 40% of its institutional subscribers 38 .

I have had the opportunity and pleasure to interact with the ASCI not only as an organization through my tenure as president of the American Physician Scientists Association, but also with its members over the last four years. In my view, the same characteristics that permeate ASCI the organization also define ASCI the membership -mentorship, exemplary role models, advocacy, and leadership.

“…In order to maintain solid financial footing, the Journal increased publication fees to authors to offset declining subscription revenue (Figure 2).

The decision to remain a freeaccess journal is one that the editors since Varki have upheld and continue to support.…”
