Challenges to health professionals
Challenges to conducting research:
• Service pressures – no protected time
• Not part of core work, patients first
• Infrastructure• Methodological support• Career pathway for
research staff• Research skills – training• Research “value” culture• Lack of awareness of OA
Challenges to OA publishing:
• Cost (€1320-€1510 per article)• 10 OA Irish journals, only 1 is
health related• Highest impact factor journals
are not OA
