The History and Funding of PubMed: A Centralized Research System in Need of Decentralization
PubMed has democratized access to scientific literature, but it's centralized nature raises concerns about integrity and permanence.

By decentralizing the scientific record, we can ensure the integrity of groundbreaking research, promote and sponsor open collaboration.
