getting research findings 

beyond the paywall

to the public

About

I've worked on medical research teams for many years and am passionate about sharing research findings more widely. I'm a member of Authors Alliance, although all opinions on this website are my own.

Some Disclaimers and Notes on Copyright

Additional disclaimers, as well as info on terms and conditions, privacy and copyright are located on the Disclaimers pageof this website. I highly recommend checking it out - I've worked hard to describe things as clearly as possible. Below are some topics from the page.

This blog is for informational purposes only and should be considered a starting point. My goal is to share my thoughts (which are my own) and things that I've learned about the academic publishing industry and sharing information with the public in order to help others who may be wondering about the same things. I try my best to keep information on this blog up to date but I can't guarantee it. For instance, if my blog says one thing and the National Institutes of Health says another, go with what the NIH says. Let me know via the Contact tab if there are any inaccuracies and I'll fix them.

This website does not constitute official advice and is not a replacement for official guidance from institutions like the National Institutes of Health. Any mention of legal topics like copyright or medical topics such as research findings does not constitute legal or medical advice. Check with a licensed legal professional to get legal advice or licensed medical professional to get medical advice.
