Abstract

Access to the Internet and its vast stores of data and links among sites has changed the way in which we search for and gather information. A proposal from Harold Varmus, the former director of the US National Institutes of Health, may change this process even further. The stated goal of the “E-biomed” project is to develop a single Web site that would accept papers in every area of biomedicine and provide free access to the full text for all readers. This proposal has generated considerable debate, not all of it positive and some possibly mired in conflict of interest.
