The Role of Open Access in Reducing Waste in Medical Research
Chalmers and Glasziou previously estimated that US $100 billion are wasted each year because of poor design, poor reporting, and selective non-publication of research. (Chalmers I, Glasziou P (2009) Avoidable waste in the production and reporting of research evidence. Lancet 374: 86-89). In a guest editorial, Paul Glasziou discusses the further waste incurred in medical research by restrictions on post-publication access.
