Research

MSF is well known for its humanitarian medical work, but it also produces important research based on its field experience with vulnerable populations. MSF's studies have been published in over 80 peer-reviewed journals and have often changed clinical practice.

MSF is proud to launch a new website providing free, published research based on its medical work at www.fieldresearch.msf.org.

MSF is archiving all its peer-reviewed research and commentary articles on the site.

At time of the launch, there were over 350 articles on HIV care, malaria, tuberculosis, leishmaniasis and other diseases, as well as more general topics such as medical care in emergencies, refugee health and health politics.

As new articles are published, they are archived on the site.

Medical journals

The articles have been published in journals such as BMJ, New England Journal of Medicine, PloS Medicine, The Lancet, and Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

The new website, at www.fieldresearch.msf.org, requires no password or sign-up and full-text articles are available for free.

The articles are easily accessed through the site's search function.
