Rick Whiting, Drugmakers Respond To Calls For Public Database Of Trials, Information Week, June 25, 2004. Excerpt: "Proponents of clinical-trial registries say they would alert doctors and consumers to potential drug risks. But debate continues over how such a database would be managed and what information it should include. Some industry execs say such a database could disclose trade secrets and overwhelm consumers with complex information."

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
