The Journal of Global Surgery (ONE) is experimenting with an interesting publishing model: instead of locking expensive academic papers behind paywalls, the community collectively funds publication so that papers become freely accessible to everyone. This time, it’s a surgical case report on a rare De Garengeot hernia: during a right hemicolectomy, surgeons unexpectedly discovered this rare condition and adjusted their approach mid-surgery. The original open-access fee of $3,700 has now been reduced to just $76. And here’s the most interesting part—they accept #BCH. So if everyone in the BCH community contributes just a little, we can quickly unlock this paper entirely, making it freely available to doctors, medical students, researchers, and anyone else who needs it. Small payments—cents or dollars—aren’t insignificant. When many people do a small thing together, they can truly make something valuable accessible to all. If you’re interested, let’s help push through that final $76. 💚
