Abstract

This paper presents tools, strategies and paths to help authors to choose the right mathod of publication to maximize impact.
A wide range of studies and statistics are already giving evidence that papers published in an open, freely accessible journal (and/or repository) have more impact. Since it has been demonstrated, also within biomedical disciplines that the Impact Factor "should not be used to evaluate research", it is important to consider new metrics for research assessment.
