Research Series: increasing value, reducing waste

A new Lancet Series focuses on increasing value and reducing waste in research. The Series documents waste in research from five principal sources — ranging from waste in deciding what research to do, through to waste because of unusable reports of research. In these papers we set out some of the most pressing issues, recommend how to increase value and reduce waste in biomedical research, and propose metrics for stakeholders to monitor the implementation of these recommendations.
