Publications of the Month
Each month, Health Data Research UK’s Early Career Committee selects ‘Open Access Publication of the Month’. The six criteria against which the publications are judged are research quality, national team working, scale, open access, public/patient involvement/impact, as well as diversity and inclusion.
