Journals lack explicit policies for separating eds from ads
Article Abstract:
The preliminary results of a survey of editors revealed that two in five biomedical journals have no declared policy on how to separate editorial and commercial matters. The survey asked the 350 members of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), a London-based association of journal editors and publishers, whether their employers had a declared policy on how to ensure a separation between editorial and commercial decisions.

Animal experiments under fire for poor design
Article Abstract:
A British team has claimed that the animal experiments are often poorly designed, thereby failing to lay a proper groundwork for subsequent human studies. The animal-rights groups might use these results as an evidence for their campaigns against using animals for medicine trials.
