We're getting bigger. Now you can join CrimRxiv Consortium as an individual. Same price as what it costs to read and publish on CrimRxiv (which is zero). 🧡 Be an early member of the open-criminology movement.

Another way government austerity is failing healthcare and the NZ people. Underfunded Te Whatu Ora / Health NZ is cutting access to the Cochrane Library, a gold standard source of information to support health decision-making. NZers use it 246 times per day. #nzpol

The Cochrane library is a global source of independent health evidence for everyone – why is NZ restricting access?
New Zealanders download Cochrane Library health reviews daily. Restricting access is a step back to when medical knowledge was held tightly by professionals.
