Lancet series on ‘Research: increasing value, reducing waste’

09/01/2014

The Lancet launched its’ latest series focusing on ‘Research: increasing value, reducing waste’ on Wednesday 8 January 2014 at a symposium at the UCL Institute of Child Health, London. Consisting of five papers, the series highlights important issues regarding biomedical research prioritisation, research design, regulation and management of research, data accessibility and research reporting. The fifth paper in the series examines incomplete or unusable research reports and highlights the work of the EQUATOR Network in trying to address these issues.
