Two New Zealand government agencies are paying for 100 NZ general practitioners to have free online access to Clinical Evidence, a priced journal from the BMJ Publishing Group. The two organizations are PHARMAC, the NZ government drug funding agency, and the Accident Compensation Corporation, the agency administering NZ's injury compensation system. The free access is a pilot program administered by the New Zealand Guidelines Group, which is currently soliciting interest from NZ physicians.

Removing the barriers to serious research.
