These emails are annoying, for sure, but Shrime was worried that there might be bigger issues at stake: What exactly are these journals publishing and who is taking these journals to be credible sources of medical information? http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs-accepted-by-17-med-journals/?cat_orig=money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
