This is too easy. Let’s enforce these kind of sleuthing guidelines for all journal editors. No more excuses. This is embarrassing already.

Sounds like a no brainer to me, too. Yet another illustration of how journal editors cannot possibly be serious about stopping this practice once and for all.

It’s revolting to see “professionals” and I use that term generously standing by, fully aware yet clearly uninterested in doing the right thing because it may mean putting their jobs on the line. Instead, medical journal editors who do nothing to stop medical ghostwriting – and I believe it is entirely possible to do so – are rubber-stamping the practice with their ineptitude.

If this is so obvious – e.g. you and others were able to find out about this simple techie step – why on earth isn’t this standard practice for all medical journal editors?

Makes it entirely too easy to suspect they are all in on the fraud.
