Scientific Meetings Produce Clash of Agendas

Article Abstract:

Scientific meetings are putting pressure on the embargo system that delays the publication of research news in the press until it was published in a journal. Journal editors maintain that authors can discuss their research at meetings but should honor the embargo in dealing with the press. However, some researchers feel they are being silenced by the journals.
