Good Forum for a Response on Drug Innovation?

(Before It's News)

I wanted to mention that a version of my first post on the Light/Lexchin article is now up over at the Discover magazine site. And if you’ve been following the comments to that one and to Light’s response here, you’ll note that readers here have found a number of problems with the original paper’s analysis. I’ve found a few of my own, and I expect there are more.

The British Medical Journal has advised me that they consider a letter to the editor to be the appropriate forum for a response to one of their published articles. I don’t think publishing this one did them much credit, but what’s done is done. I’m still shopping for a venue for a detailed response on my part – I’ve had a couple of much-appreciated offers, but I’d like to continue to see what options are out there to get this out to the widest possible audience.
