Why choose to publish open access?
Publications are a critical vehicle for the dissemination of all types of research data, including clinical trial data.
In publications, authors provide readers with context for and interpretation of data from a study. Making research outputs and these insights available on open access terms enables the following benefits:
Broad access to outputs from clinical trials for patients, healthcare providers, researchers, and the public
Avoids duplication of research efforts
Prevents unnecessary involvement of patients in clinical trials and exposure to investigational therapies
Wide dissemination of research that may change and advance patient care
