Abstract
JRSM Open is an online-only, peer-reviewed, open-access companion journal to JRSM. JRSM Open was launched in June 2010 and is rapidly developing into a leading international online resource of clinical papers, reviews and case reports on all aspects of improving patient care. As with other open access journals, authors are required to pay a small fee for published articles to cover the production costs and ensure that their article is freely available to readers.
