Pritpal S. Tambar, Galvanising mental health research in low- and middle-income countries: the role of scientific journals, Annals of General Hospital Psychiatry, March 1, 2004. Tambar uses the editorial space in this issue to reprint the public statement with the same title issued by 25 journal editors and the WHO on January 2004 in Geneva. One of the statement's recommendations is for journals to "participate in electronic dissemination initiatives or provision of free/open access through the journal's website."

The open access movement:
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.
