- A study was conducted on neurology trainees' scholarly activities, focusing on factors affecting their ability to publish, including awareness of open access (OA) journals and financial barriers.
- Out of 72 participants from various US neurology programs, many were familiar with OA publishing, but around 37.5% reported financial challenges; international medical graduates (IMGs) specifically faced greater hurdles and showed less motivation based on journal impact factors.
- The study concluded that prior research experience and mentorship significantly aided trainees in successfully publishing, while dedicated time for scholarly work was highlighted as a substantial barrier.
