Electroretinography Articles

c (ERG) is an eye test used to test the electrical potentials generated by light sensitive cells of the eye, the rods and cones and their connecting ganglion cells to detect function of retina. The instrument used to operate ERG is an electroretinograph and the resultant recording is called an electroretinogram. Several types of ERG tests produce particular information about the patient visual function, such as photopic negative response and pattern ERG are useful in assessing retinal ganglion cell function in diseases like glaucoma. Open access to the scientific literature aids the removal of barriers (including price barriers) from accessing scholarly work. There are two parallel â roads â towards open access: Open Access articles and self-archiving. Open Access articles are instantly, freely available on their Web site, a model mostly funded by charges paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is â self-archivingâ (i.e., to publish in a traditional journal, where only subscribers have immediate access, but to make the article available on their personal and/or institutional Web sites (along with so-called repositories or archives)), which is a practice allowed by many scholarly journals. Open Access enhances effective and policy questions for scholars, publishers, funders, and policymakers alike, including what the return on investment is when paying an article processing fee to publish in an Open Access articles, or if investments into institutional repositories should be made and whether self-archiving should be invented mandatory, as contemplated by some funders.
