Abstract
The paper titled “The Biomedical Publications Industry Must Change to Better Serve the Needs of Science and Scientists” [1] raises an important and timely issue. I appreciate the authors’ efforts in highlighting challenges that strike at the core of scientific progress. As a researcher myself, I could deeply relate to many of the issues described. However, I believe a few important aspects could have been explored further.
