However, anyone who has worked with electronic health records (EHRs) knows that this engine often relies on data that are fragmented and inconsistent. Laboratory results, which are the backbone of oncology care, are frequently plagued by inaccurate codes and missing units. ![Reviewed by Kayleigh-Ann Clegg, PhD](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Headshot.jpg?width=45&name=Headshot.jpg) [Reviewed by Kayleigh-Ann Clegg, PhD](https://blog.jmir.org/author/reviewed-by-kayleigh-ann-clegg-phd) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/fixing-the-foundation-high-fidelity-lab-data-for-oncology-research) ![](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/cruk-logo.svg) [Open Access,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/open-access) [Industry News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/industry-news) [JMIR News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/jmir-news) [Libraries](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/libraries) ### [How to Reform Publishing Without Dismantling Open Science: A Reply to CRUK](https://blog.jmir.org/how-to-reform-publishing-without-dismantling-open-science-a-reply-to-cruk) 6 May 2026 3:18 p.m. *For over 25 years, JMIR Publications has operated on a simple premise: health research should be immediately and freely accessible to all. However, recent policy changes from major funders like Cancer Research UK (CRUK) now threaten to dismantle the very "Full Open Access" model that made this possible. By cutting all APC support, these policies risk stifling independent, scholar-led publishers while leaving the massive revenue streams of legacy publishers untouched. Below, we share our response to CRUK and propose five alternatives that reform the system without sacrificing the progress of the last two decades.* [JMIR Publications](https://blog.jmir.org/author/jmir-publications-1) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/how-to-reform-publishing-without-dismantling-open-science-a-reply-to-cruk) ![Medical Informatics Europe 2026](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/2026%20MIE%20Conference%20(1).png) [Events](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/events) ### [Meet the JMIR Publications Team at MIE 2026 in Genova](https://blog.jmir.org/mie-2026) 1 May 2026 9:00 a.m. Are you heading to [MIE 2026 in Genova](https://mie2026.efmi.org/home-page?utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=blog+post&utm_campaign=Conference&utm_content=MIE+2026)?
