Healthy Skepticism Updates
Healthy Skepticism Update 2 December 2010
Can Healthy Skepticism own an academic journal?
Healthy Skepticism has been offered an opportunity to become the owner of an established medline listed, peer reviewed academic journal. The current scope of the journal includes worker, consumer and environmental health. Consumer health includes Healthy Skepticism’s focus on misleading health information including drug promotion.
We need to know if we have enough support to be able to cover the costs of a high quality journal.
