    Thumbs down More Fake Journals From Elsevier (Slashdot)

    Last week, we learned about Elsevier publishing a bogus journal for Merck. Now, several librarians say that they have uncovered an entire imprint of 'advertorial' publications. Excerpta Medica, a 'strategic medical communications agency,' is an Elsevier division. Along with the now infamous Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine, it published a number of other 'journals.' Elsevier CEO Michael Hansen now admits that at least six fake journals were published for pharmaceutical companies.

    This is starting to make me question the validity of a peer reviewed journal period now.

    You'd probably find more honour amongst regular thieves than amongst these corrupt, greedy drug pushers.:thumbsdown:
