[open-science] Tamiflu Open Data Campaign

[Jenny Molloy]

Dear All

You might be interested in an open data campaign being spearheaded by the
British Medical Journal to hold pharmaceutical company Roche accountable
for failing to deliver promised clinical trial data on Tamiflu, a drug
which countries have spent billions of pounds stock piling.

Some of the articles supplied below give a more general overview of the
problem of closed and missing data about clinical research.
