          .   —Daniel Pesut. (Indiana University School of Nursing, USA).

          "It is important that students and researchers from all over the world can have easy access to relevant, high-standard and timely scientific information. This is exactly what Open Access Journals provide and this is the reason why I support this endeavor."

          .   —Jacques Descotes. (Centre Antipoison-Centre de Pharmacovigilance, France).

          "Publishing research articles is the key for future scientific progress. Open Access publishing is therefore of utmost importance for wider dissemination of information, and will help serving the best interest of the scientific community."

          .   —Patrice Talaga. (UCB S.A., Belgium).

          "Open access journals are a novel concept in the medical literature. They offer accessible information to a wide variety of individuals, including physicians, medical students, clinical investigators, and the general public. They are an outstanding source of medical and scientific information."

          .   —Jeffrey M. Weinberg. (St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, USA).

          "Open access journals are extremely useful for graduate students, investigators and all other interested persons to read important scientific articles and subscribe scientific journals. Indeed, the research articles span a wide range of area and of high quality. This is specially a must for researchers belonging to institutions with limited library facility and funding to subscribe scientific journals."

          .   —Debomoy K. Lahiri. (Indiana University School of Medicine, USA).

          "Open access journals represent a major break-through in publishing. They provide easy access to the latest research on a wide variety of issues.
