Article is about free access to bio/med research. Some thoughts: Would love to see rate of adoption of new standards of evidence based medical care as a function of institutional access to top journals or simply Uptodate (the tool people actually use nowadays). Access to curated guidelines may be more clinically important than primary lit. One reason prestigious journals are great is you get the imprimatur of success for further funding/promotion without needing to wait for citations and scientific consequence. Perhaps an opensource analytics team will over time convert the community to other metrics like reads, shares, and other h-factoresque metrics (granted all are contrived and gamable to some degree), perhaps tied to some funding consequences. Cough, ResearchGate, cough. Regarding thread title: The small number of good medical findings are disseminated far too slowly; the large number of irreproducible, contradictory, poorly supported, and statistically misinterpreted findings are disseminated far too quickly. Couldn't resist.
