Open access waiver fund
To support researchers in developing countries, BioMed Central operates
a waiver scheme that enables authors to publish their research in a
BioMed Central journal without incurring the usual article-processing
charge.
BioMed Central provides an automatic waiver to authors based in any
country, which was classified by the World Bank as Low-income
economies or Lower-middle-income economies as of July 2010, and which
has a 2009 gross domestic product of less than 200 billion US dollars.

15. “the problem is not with the open access models
but rather with the impact factor...
…impact factor no longer reflects article usage
and dissemination of knowledge…
…committees awarding promotions and tenures based on
impact factors are making their decisions, in my opinion,
on an outdated model.”

16. “Academic institutions will need to create
new criteria
(number of hits? number of PDF and full-text downloads and other on-line profiles?)
to assess the importance of research.”
