Good news for complainers.
We reported a few months ago about the brouhaha that erupted when a JAMA reader went public about his concerns with a study author's potential conflict of interest and attracted the journal's wrath in response. At the time, journal officials said that they would require anyone with a beef to keep their complaints confidential.
According to the Wall St. Journal, they've now changed their minds. Now, the editors suggest that the complaint investigation process would be "enhanced" by keeping your mouth shut. In case you were wondering, you can feel free to go to the media with your complaints about the ACP Internist blog. We'd appreciate the publicity.
