Abstract

Recent developments suggest that open access has gained new momentum in the field of bio-medical research communication. Although various studies have traced the general origins of the medical sciences’ reticence to embrace open access, few have actually considered the scholarly practices and disciplinary priorities that shape a discipline’s adoption of its principles. This article examines the emergence, potential and features of three open access medical journals published form Calicut Medical College, Kerala. The paper discusses subject coverage, periodicity, authenticity, publication charge system, indexing and abstracting, archiving and sustainability, text format, copyright policy, affiliation of contributors and content analysis. The result shows that all three journals are fully dedicated to medical sciences with research contributions from eminent scholars around the globe. Two journals do not charges for publication of article but one charge a nominal fee for submission, publication and correction in articles.  The articles are indexed and abstracted in internationally reputed secondary sources and follow reliable archival policies.
