Dermatology Online Journal became the first medical open access journal in the early 1990's. Today, thousands of open access medical journals are available on the Internet. Despite criticisms surrounding open access, these journals have allowed research to be rapidly available to the public. In addition, open access journal policies allow public health research to reach developing countries where this research has the potential to make a substantial impact. In the future, open access medical journals will likely continue to evolve with technology, changing how medical research is accessed and presented.
《皮肤病在线杂志》在20世纪90年代初成为第一本医学开放获取期刊。如今，互联网上有成千上万种开放获取医学期刊。尽管围绕开放获取存在批评意见，但这些期刊已使研究成果能迅速向公众公开。此外，开放获取期刊政策使公共卫生研究能够惠及发展中国家，而此类研究在这些国家有可能产生重大影响。未来，开放获取医学期刊可能会随着技术不断发展，改变医学研究的获取和呈现方式。
