You Must Visit the Journal of Irreproducible Results

Given the absurdity of the Food and Drug Administration's proposed new policy that would allow the distribution of peer-reviewed journal articles by drug industry salespersons, a senior physician at a major American medical institution was motivated to pass along this tongue-in-cheek solicitation, ostensibly from the Journal of Irreproducible Results, which is a real, live science humor magazine. You can visit that magazine's website (and subscribe if you're so inclined) by clicking on the link above:

Dear author,

We invite you to submit a review article advocating unapproved uses for any pharmaceutical agent. For major products, we can sell several hundred thousand reprints to the pharmaceutical company and we would be pleased to share our profits with you. Please consider our invitation.
