This study investigates attitudes towards the addition of lay summaries to open-access journal articles in the context of engaging the public with medical research. In particular, the perspectives of two stakeholder groups were analysed: employees of organisations with a stake in communicating OA medical research to the public, and members of the public who have experience of accessing online medical research.
