(GCP) is a set of internationally-recognised ethical and scientific quality requirements
that must be followed when designing, conducting, recording and reporting clinical
trials that involve people. To ensure compliance with GCP, the Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency carries out inspections in the United Kingdom of organisations
that are involved in clinical trials.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s National Institute
for Health Research (NIHR) which is the country’s largest public funder of health
research and trials, has implemented a number of initiatives on publication of research
results. The NIHR is the world’s first health research funder to publish comprehensive
accounts of its commissioned research within its own publicly and permanently available
journal series. The NIHR Journals Library comprises a suite of five open access peer-reviewed
journals reporting results from a range of health research areas. The reports provide
a full account of the research project, including methods and a full description of
the results, and complement shorter articles submitted for publication in other peer-review
journals, which the NIHR actively encourages researchers to do as part of their dissemination
strategy. In addition – contracts for NIHR funding include requirements on publication
of the results from NIHR funded and supported research.</p>
