Replication failures of influential findings across fields of science have contributed to a credibility crisis, and the sub-area of human electrophysiology has not escaped unscathed. In an effort to restore credibility, recent initiatives aim to improve methodological rigor of research via transparency and openness. We sought to determine the impact of such initiatives on open access publishing in the sub-area of human electrophysiology and the impact of open access on the attention articles received in the scholarly literature and other outlets. Data for 35,144 articles across 967 journals from the last 20 years were examined. Approximately 35% of articles were open access, and the rate of publication of open-access articles increased over time. Open access articles showed 9 to 21% more PubMed and CrossRef citations and 39% more Altmetric mentions than closed access articles. Green open access articles (i.e., author archived) did not differ from non-green open access articles with respect to citations and were related to higher Altmetric mentions. These findings demonstrate that open-access publishing is increasing in popularity in the sub-area of human electrophysiology and that open-access articles enjoy the “open access advantage” in citations similar to the larger scientific literature. The benefit of the open access advantage may motivate researchers to make their publications open access and pursue publication outlets that support it. In consideration of the direct connection between citations and journal impact factor, journal editors may improve the accessibility and impact of published articles by encouraging authors to self-archive manuscripts on preprint servers.

Dsm 5

Zusammenfassung. Psychische Störungen können über die ganze Lebensspanne auftreten. Strukturierte klinische Interviews sind zentrale Hilfsmittel für ihre rasche, zuverlässige und umfassende Diagnostik. Im deutschsprachigen Raum stehen mit den Verfahren der DIPS-Familie Interviews zur Diagnostik psychischer Störungen über die gesamte Lebensspanne zur Verfügung, die seit den 90er Jahren regelmäßig aktualisiert wurden. Ihre Reliabilität, Validität und Akzeptanz wurde wiederholt in großen Stichproben aus ambulanten, stationären und Forschungssettings überprüft. Die Einführung des DSM-5 erforderte eine umfassende Überarbeitung der DIPS-Interviews, deren wesentliche Merkmale dargestellt werden. Um die breitere Verwendung von strukturierten klinischen Interviews zu fördern, werden die Verfahren der DIPS-Familie neu als „Open Access-Dokumente“ zur Verfügung gestellt. Abschließend werden weitere Entwicklungen zu Training, Dissemination und Computerisierung im Ausblick angesprochen.
