Open Access and Open Data in For-Profit Healthcare

Copyright promotes the progress of science and useful arts. Open Access trends in publishing remove restrictions from access and reuse, opening the doors to more opportunities for progress of science. Similarly, open medical and health information lead the path to enhancements in care for both individuals and whole populations locally and globally, through access to more evidence, symptoms, diagnosis and treatments. Alternatively, concealing of medical and health information seriously undercut certainty of diagnosis and proposed treatment.

Creating and Maintaining an Open Access Teaching File

MedPix® is an open-access online teaching file of medical images – primarily Radiology, but also including Dermatology, Pathology, and Endoscopy.  A collection of images may be near worthless without captions and context for those images.  The “Teaching File” concept is a Case-Based model for associating clinical information with captioned images with appropriate meta-data.

PubMed and Public Access: Distinguishing the different resources and discussing the impact of PubMed Central

The role of PubMed has expanded beyond serving as a “Public MEDLINE” interface because additional resources are added through PubMed Central (PMC). Using their findings from data analysis and interviews with National Library of Medicine staff and a PMC external reviewer, the presenters will discuss the various resources included in PubMed, with an in-depth look at the purpose of each resource, as well as that of PubMed as a whole.

PubMed Central: Behind the HTML

PubMed Central is the US National Library of Medicine's free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature that was started in 2000. It is an XML-based resource that supports open access and traditional publishing models and is a primary source for open access articles used by text miners and researchers. This will be a behind-the-scenes tour of the architecture, workflows, and policies that of PMC now and throughout the 17-year history.
