We don’t cover the various medical journals on here much. There’s an interesting overlap that’s happening with healthcare IT and journals right now, but many of the IT products we cover aren’t really lined up with what’s being published in medical journals. Would a medical journal really be the right place for a discussion of hybrid cloud, virtual desktops, or other IT related topics? I don’t think so.
With that said, I was intrigued by the news that a number of editors quit a top neuroscience journal in protest of the open-access charges this journal was charging people. While I get the paid model for content, as you can see from Healthcare IT Today, we don’t charge readers for the content we’re sharing, but I digress.
Since this is an edition of Fun Friday, you may be able to guess what’s next. That’s right. A video from Dr. Glaucomflecken about the loss of editors from this journal.

We hope you have a great long weekend. We’re taking the Monday holiday off as well. We’ll see you back here on Tuesday.
Our FINN team loves working with all the various industry journals and associations. Yes, they are running short on editors and we’re always happy to help where we can. They are amazing people!
