Just in case anyone thought for some reason that Elsevier would be any better as a corporate citizen after getting out of the arms business - advertorials and creating a pseudo peer review journal for Merck. You know, just in case.

I saw an article about this sometime over the weekend, and I was struck by how bold (not in a good way) they were to do this.

There were clues that gave away the fact that the "journal" was not legit, but it was little things that most doctors would not have recognised. The intention was definitely to deceive, and aparently they did a pretty good job of it.

"The truth is what I say it is" = attitude that is spreading like a disease and is now (always was, to some degree) infecting science.
