Jamie Talan, Glaxo to reveal drug trial results, Newsday, August 27, 2004. Excerpt: "GlaxoSmithKline has agreed to disclose previously unpublished studies about its drugs, a move that settles a lawsuit in which New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer accused the company of hiding negative findings about the antidepressant Paxil....As part of the agreement, the company is establishing a registry that will contain the study protocols for all medicines the company makes and summaries of all results from clinical trials since 2000, including published scientific papers as well as studies that otherwise would never see the light of day."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
