Phony scientific journals
mercredi 22 août 2018 à 02:00Phony scientific journals do more than give "scientists" a way to say that they have published papers. They also give companies a way to create "scientific" evidence for their products.
I suspect that Philip Morris and AstraZeneca can buy more prestige for the places they publish their marketing materials. Some pharma companies have been found ghostwriting articles for professionals to sign, and even setting up "journals" to publish articles to boost their products.
