On Publishing in Medicine: Impact Factor, Open Access, Peer Review, Predatory Journals, and Other Mysterious Creatures
‘In this new book, Luca De Fiore, a longtime proponent of precision in medical evidence, casts his critical eye on academic medical publishing, and disdains what he sees. Caught in his web of flaws, errors, and deceptions are journal publishers, study funders, promotion committees, venal medical institutions, inappropriate financial incentives, dishonesty about the actual quality of medical data, and shaky ethics of the researchers themselves. Those interested in correcting these diverse ailments of academic medical publishing would do well to heed his diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for this broken system.’ – JEROME P. KASSIRER Distinguished Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, New England Journal of Medicine
