    • Support at the highest levels of
    government
    • “The Government believes that
    published research material
    which has been publicly financed
    should be publicly accessible –
    and that principle goes well
    beyond the academic
    community”

    By the end of October, we will have
    covered 122 studies from journals for
    our consumer service. Of those, 45
    were embargoed — but we didn’t hit
    the embargo on 12 of them, because
    we had better things to do, like cover
    more interesting studies that weren’t
    embargoed.
