      ab: On January 1, 2000, The National Institutes of Health opened an electronic archive on the Internet for the storing of all biomedical research published in the U.S., but this has met with strong opposition from traditional scientific figures. The archive is known as PubMed and is intended to give free access of information to professionals and members of the general public. Some critics are concerned about publishing unreviewed material, but the wider issue is about whether the traditional institutions can adapt to the new possibilities for advancing knowledge. At a time when electronic publishing is establishing links between scientists, it remains to be seen how any medical journal could afford to stay away from the Internet.
