Agreed. The next step to opening up research is to make it easier. That's what we are about publicly to launch over at http://www.myire.com in the coming months. We are battle testing it with phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials in enterprise before the launch. After the launch it'll be far easier for any researcher to do their job and to publish their work.

If you work in research and want a peak into the future email lane (at) myire dot com and I'd be happy to demo.
