Looking beyond the spin of Big Pharma PR. But encouraging gossip. Come in and confide, you know you want to! “I’ll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.”

Ghostwriting - Top of the Pops
Here is the "ghostwriting" rate by journal:
-- New England Journal of Medicine - 10.9%; -- JAMA - 7.9%; -- Lancet - 7.6%; -- PLoS Medicine - 7.6%; -- Annals of Internal Medicine - 4.9%; -- Nature Medicine - 2%.
Has anyone gotten around to discovering that a lot (ok, nearly all) of the "research" on "compounds" is actually a ghost funded big pharma quest for off label applications?
"Independent" research isn't even financially possible.
