title: Publish or perish, and pay--the new paradigm of open-access journals.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The new open-access journal business model is changing the publication landscape and residents and junior faculty should be aware of these changes.
  
  
  METHODS
  A national survey of surgery program directors and residents was performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Open-access journals have been growing over the past decade, and many traditional printed journals are also sponsoring open-access options (the hybrid model) for accepted articles. Authors need to be aware of the new publishing paradigm and potential costs involved in publishing their work.
