    "In a bid to democratize access to credible health information, the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) is removing its paywall.

    “Up until now, if we published an insightful commentary about national pharmacare, for example, it was publicly available for one week, and then behind a paywall for a year. And that markedly decreased the influence that piece could have and the vigour of the debate it might engender,” explains editor-in-chief Dr. Andreas Laupacis."
