Who will benefit from enhanced access to biomedical information?
Members of the scientific and research communities, teachers, health care workers, first responders, students, and members of the public will all benefit from enhanced public access to biomedical literature. As demonstrated by the popularity of NIH’s PubMed service (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi), the demand for access to biomedical research goes far beyond the current readership for whom access is possible via subscriptions.
