Hi everyone,
I'm a MS3 preparing to apply ENT. I don't want to add to any neuroticism but today for the first time I heard that some equally competitive specialties look down on publications in open access journals, to the point that they won't count it as one of. your 1st author pubs. I was quite shocked as I'd never heard of programs discerning research quality in this way. What are people's experiences with this? Is publishing in open access journals truly looked down upon?
