Summary

Research is supposed to guide our practice—but what happens when we can’t actually access it? In this episode of Speech Talk, Eva and Emily get into the reality of paywalled research and what it means for evidence-based practice in speech-language pathology. Breaking down the article “The Effect of Open Access on Scholarly and Societal Metrics of Impact in the ASHA Journals,” they explore how access (or lack of it) shapes who reads, shares, and applies research. From citation counts to social media reach, the data is clear: the more accessible the research, the greater its impact. But with thousands of articles still behind paywalls, clinicians are often left out of the conversation. This episode gets real about the barriers SLPs face—and why making research more accessible isn’t just convenient, it’s essential for better patient care. Citations Long, H.
