    EVENING BRIEFING - 10 FEBRUARY 2010 - OXFORD

    Crystal ball gazing: the future of medical publishing

    Publish and filter, not filter and publish was one of the key messages from Richard Smith as he argued his case for why medical publishing was indeed broken and needed fixing, and sketched out some scenarios for the future. A fascinating and stimulating evening which was well appreciated by the audience.

    Read a published review of the meeting from European Science Editing 2010;36(2).
