Medicins Sans Frontieres research free to all


Medicins Sans Frontieres have launched a new website to give free access to their published research.

You can access the website here: http://fieldresearch.msf.org

The research by MSF is based on their field experience with vulnerable populations, and is made available via this site through permissions gain from various publishers.

This site is a good example of an institutional respository, an online archive which makes research freely accessible. Most UK Universities have taken this approach, and the NHS may well do so in the future.
