Importance of Communication Between Producers and Consumers of Publicly Available Experimental Data: Abstract of a commentary by Lance A. Liotta and co-authors in Journal of the National Cancer Institute 2005(Feb 16); 97(4): 310-314. An excerpt: "In an effort to assist others who are perfecting mass spectrometry platforms for profiling, ongoing experimental data were posted for public consumption. An unintended consequence of unrestricted access to experimental data is the risk of inappropriate conclusions drawn and publicly disseminated that could have been avoided by communication between the producers and consumers of the data".

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.
