RSNA Unscripted: Radiology Advances Editor on Open Access Publishing

Susanna Lee, MD, PhD, editor of Radiology Advances, discusses why open access matters for radiology: peer-reviewed imaging research should reach the full global medical community, not just those behind institutional paywalls — and how funding models must evolve to get there.

• Podcast/video discussion, not a research study — no quantitative findings or study data presented.
• Key theme: open access shifts publishing costs from readers to authors or institutions, with the goal of democratizing access to cutting-edge imaging research.
• Primarily relevant to academic radiologists, trainees, and researchers navigating journal submission and publication funding decisions.
