Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion Innovations

RSA, defined as 2 or more repeated pregnancy losses, disrupts about 2-3% of pregnant women. The experience has a heavy emotional, physical and financial impact on patients and their families. Currently accepted tests for uterine anatomical abnormalities, antiphospholipid antibodies (APA), and parental karyotypic abnormalities leave about 50% of RSA unexplained. The absence of pure causation and of treatment to prevent episodes of recurrence adds to the burden of this diagnosis. Open access to scientific literature means removing barriers (including price barriers) to accessing academic work. There are two parallel “routes” to open access: open access articles and self-archiving. Open access articles are immediately and freely available on their website, a model funded mainly by fees paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is "self-archiving" (ie publishing in a traditional journal, where only subscribers have immediate access, but make the article available on their personal websites and / or institutional (including so-called repositories or archives)), a practice authorized by many scholarly journals. Open Access raises practical and political questions for academics, publishers, funders and policymakers, including the return on investment when paying the cost of processing an article to be published in an open article, or if investments in institutional repositories must be made and if self-archiving should be made mandatory, as envisaged by some donors.
