Open Medicine is a medical journal launched in April 2007. Many from the CMAJ - Steve Choi, Claire Kendall, Sally Murrary, Anita Palepu, Anne Marie Todkill - have come together to create Open Medicine. John Willinsky, international advocate for open-access, is the OM publisher. As an open-access journal, OM aims to stimulate discourse about scientific research and, ultimately, to hasten the progress and uptake of evidence and to distribute it more equitably around the world.
