TY - JOUR AU - Corrales Reyes, Ibraín Enrique PY - 2019/07/09 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Response to comment on “Sci-Hub and evidence based dentistry: an ethical dilemma in Cuba”. JF - Journal of Oral Research JA - J Oral Res VL - 6 IS - 9 SE - DO - 10.17126/%x UR - https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/journal_of_oral_research/article/view/936 SP - 233 AB - <p>I am grateful for the interest expressed by the authors Gonzalez-Argote and Alfonso-Sanchez regarding my comment.1 At the&nbsp; beginning of their reply they assert: “The article, very similar to that published by Bendezú-Quispe et al.,2 addresses an issue considered an ethical dilemma worldwide.” Hence, they recognize that the issue in question is considered an ethical dilemma on a global scale, so they cannot leave Cuba out of the discussion. Then they put forward arguments that, in my opinion, are contradictory. I have known for long that the INFOMED network offers free access to more than 20 databases and that through the Virtual Health Library of Cuba researchers have access to a large number of books by Cuban authors. In addition, I did not assert in any line of my comment that Sci-Hub is the “only source of science-based information in Cuba".</p> ER -
