An editorial in the August 31, 2002 issue of BMJ, Making research papers in the BMJ more accessible, reviews plans "to publish shorter, more reader friendly versions of original research papers in the print journal". The editorial includes a suggestion that: "In a few years' time the research papers in the print BMJ may look more like articles in a serious newspaper, while those on bmj.com could be live documents with raw data and multimedia features".

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
