John P A Ioannidis

PLOS Medicine, 2016, vol. 13, issue 6, 1-10

Abstract: John Ioannidis argues that problem base, context placement, information gain, pragmatism, patient centeredness, value for money, feasibility, and transparency define useful clinical research. He suggests most clinical research is not useful and reform is overdue.
