poverty in the leading medical journals. The
frequency of articles relevant to developing

Medicine - 2 for JAMA - 4 for NEJM - 6 for
BMJ - 16 for Lancet (The Lancet 2003 361712-3)

Open access serves the interests of all
readers, authors, teachers, students, libraries,
universities, funding agencies and ultimately
governments and citizens. It increases the
visibility of individual authors work key
resources are equally accessible to rich and
poor the mission of most universities to
disseminate and share knowledge is facilitated,
and funders (including governments) are
given return on investment. Can we afford not
