Access to medical journals in Malaysia.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best available research evidence to improve the quality of medical judgments and clinical care . Every year, the Julius Centre, University of Malaya organises workshops on EBP. During these workshops, we teach participants EBP skills. Despite being equipped with these skills, the participants continue to face the challenge of accessing databases and full-text articles. Most databases require payment, a barrier for those trying to access clinical evidence.
