Former CMAJ editors help launch online medical journal
Last Updated: Wednesday, April 18, 2007
CBC News
A group of Canadian doctors and editors is launching a new online medical
journal that they say will be free from the influence of pharmaceutical
companies.
Open Medicine is an open-access journal that won't charge subscription fees
or run advertisements for drugs or medical devices. The first issue goes
live online on Wednesday. There is no print edition.
The new journal aims to be as free as possible from financial conflicts of
interest, Dr. Stephen Choi says.
A group of former editors of the Canadian Medical Association Journal and
their colleagues founded the journal on two principles: open access and
editorial independence.
