Abstract

Biomedical Journals and Global Poverty: Is HINARI a Step Backwards?

Highlights

  • Between 2001 and 2006, the Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet) online database assembled more than 25,000 published articles on genetic associations (GAs) and more than 500 systematic reviews of GAs

  • After several HuGENet workshops bringing together researchers from different fields and journal editors, the first edition of a HuGENet handbook, modeled in part after the Cochrane handbook of systematic reviews, was published on the Canadian HuGENet Web site [7]

  • National Institutes of Health (2006) Request for information (RFI): Proposed policy for sharing of data obtained in NIH supported or conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
