A
Starter: Is
the peer-review system a guarantee for quality?
Most medical journals use the so-called peer-review system. This implies
that for being published all manuscripts are scrutinized by one or two
external specialists (referees) in the issue. Here
are the comments from five referees, who were asked to review a
manuscript by Uffe Ravnskov, sent to and rejected by three different
medical journals before it was accepted for publication in Quarterly
Journal of Medicine without any changes. Dr. Ravnskov's comments were also sent to the
editors of the journals that rejected the article.
Here
are the objections by the referees together with Dr. Ravnskov's responses
You

hypothesis have been met with similar comments?

negative findings they concluded that their study "certainly
provide support, at an individual level, for the

of cardiovascular disease." Therefore, read
