Two of our editorials have raised awareness that research waste exists in dermatology and that there are simple ways of reducing the problem. The key point is that reducing research waste is everyone’s business. ‘More research’ is not needed – less research is needed, but better research that is prioritized, conducted well and reported fully. Patients deserve nothing less.These editorials can be found at the following links:
