title: Planning for a research future: a commentary.
abstract: This paper outlines the urgent need for implementing a strategy for clinical chiropractic research to improve patient care and perhaps support the active promotion of chiropractic in the community. It addresses the cost of scientific research, and the need to develop a scientific chiropractic community which can address the diverse needs of the chiropractic profession and maintain parity with professions in similar fields.
