JVS - VL going open
access: What does it mean?
Dr. Ruth Bush, the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Vascu-
lar Surgery – Venous and Lymphatic Disorders and president
elect for the American Venous Forum, talks about the tran-
sition of the JVS - VL to open access on this audio podcast.
During this podcast, she explores what does open access
mean for the readers, authors and reviewers, what waivers
are there for authors and the timeline for these changes. As
more and more medical journals are transitioning to open
access, this represents an important step forward for making
