PubMed Commons: A New Forum for Scientific Discussion

A pilot version of a new PubMed service has been released that allows researchers to post comments on individual PubMed abstracts. Called PubMed Commons, this service is an initiative of the National Institutes of Health leadership in response to repeated requests by the scientific community for such a forum to be part of PubMed.

PubMed Commons will leverage the social power of the internet to encourage constructive criticism and high quality discussions of scientific issues that will both enhance understanding and provide new avenues of collaboration within the community.
