Comment: All information here is duplicated in the History section of PubMed Central. It would be difficult to expand this to acceptable article length without copying what is already there. Recommend adding to that article rather than continuing to work on this. Recon rabbit 17:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

E-Biomed was a 1999 proposal by Harold Varmus (at the time, Director of the NIH) for a database of biomedical research articles that would archive journal articles, support new journals, and enable researchers to share unreviewed preprints.^[1] The proposal was met with skepticism from publishers and others, who argued that dissemination of research prior to peer review would be dangerous^[2] and that the involvement of the federal government in publishing would threaten free enterprise.^[3]

The proposal eventually led to the creation of PubMed Central.^[4]^[5]
