More on unbinding projects

I posted my preprint on unbinding projects yesterday, and today Alf Eaton has already posted a chart showing just how many articles on HIV/AIDS might be eligible for unbinding. He covers all the articles on HIV/AIDS indexed in PubMed. I knew the volume would be large but didn't expect to see a measurement, especially this fast. Alf's chart makes me think that we should start with well more than 500 articles in the first wave, launch several projects on several sub-topics, or launch a small project soon to prove the concept and then repeat soon after for a better yield. Thanks, Alf.
