However, as well as the blog writing there has been a little bit of book writing and it is exciting to see the final stages drawing toward 'closure' on the four books completed this year.

That's how critics described it in correspondence to The Lancet -- a real medical journal published by Elsevier. The authors call for Elsevier to either divest itself of of either its medical publishing or pharmaceutical services division (see here).Elsevier admits it should not have...

Rather than asking, How do we incentivise people to share their knowledge? It would be more useful to ask, How do we develop relationships across the globe that will set in motion more knowledge sharing?" [slightly generalized after Nancy Dixon]"Today there seems to be a new distribution model that is emerging. One that is based on people’s ability to publically syndicate and distribute messages — aka content — in an open manner. This has been a part of the internet since day one — yet now its emerging in a different form — it's not pages, it's streams, its social and so its syndication."

Here are a few items of note:Professor Chris Gillberg, scientific misconduct and a problematical academic appointmentProfessor Christopher Gillberg is now in possession of an honorary Professorship and joins the staff list at University College London (UCL) and at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (see here). Gillberg, you will recall, is the scientist who headed the Swedish team that destroyed hundreds of thousands of pages of raw clinical research data after being asked to explain anomalies in their findings. The destruction took place in the face of a pending research misconduct examination. To make matters worse, Gillberg's supporters blamed scientologists for somehow causing the problem and supporters may have attempted to inti...

Written for the past 2 years by Ed Silverman, he’s decided to move on to take a job over at Elsevier and may very well start blogging for them on the same topics (either at the In Vivo blog or some other company blog). While we’ll miss Pharmalot as it exists today, we hope to see Ed Silverman continue on in the tradition he started more than 2 years ago, breaking interesting stories about the pharmaceutical industry. We can’t imagine the blogosphere being the same without him.

El Naschie, who is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Chaos, Solitons & Fractals and apparently uses this position to publish tons of his own papers in that journal. Nature has also covered this case before, where it has been said that the papers are mostly of poor quality and that El Naschie might also have ‘improved’ his CV by using a wrong affiliation to a respectable institute. I am neither an expert on solitons or fractals (chaos maybe, if you consider the state of my desktop) and I am clearly not the one to  judge the quality of El Naschie’s contributions. Check here for some scientific details. Reading about this story made me think about how...

Earlier this month, Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the committee, raised questions about the May 2003 “Editors’ Choice” article in The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The article, signed by John Eden, an associate professor at the University of New South Wales, was among articles Grassley cited that were favorable to Wyeth drugs (back story).

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s Drugs and Biologics Compendium, which is drawn from its Clinical Practice Guidelines, fails to disclose corporate ties of the 20 to 24 experts who sit on its 44 guideline-writing panels. Instead, it lists all the companies which gave money or research support to any committee member without listing any specific member or the amount given, ISW writes.

That this was not yet the case is a shame, since scientific literature that cannot be crawled is worthless. Hopefully this means that over time Elsevier will open up access to its journals some more.
