Summary:

These rapid changes in the delivery of healthcare are being fuelled by even more rapid changes in the way in which the results of medical research are disseminated. Delays built into the traditional peer review publication system are being reduced by very rapid review or pre-review publication of preprints, which have been accepted in the physical and biological sciences for many years, and provide an opportunity for authors to respond to comments from multiple sources before being finalised for publication. This growth of open access and sharing will accelerate moves towards open science envisaged by Plan S, an initiative for open access publishing supported by an international consortium of research funders. Extraordinarily rapid drug and vaccine development, and unprecedented collaborative efforts involving academia and big pharma, could set new standards for clinical research in the future.
