>No one has responded to my earlier post asking about journals that will =
not publish research funded by the infant formula industry<
Hi Karleen! I did notice your question, but been very busy.
As a reviewer for a journal I have induced them to refuse a paper because it
was funded by industry. Sadly, my review comments enabled them to more
effectively conceal both the funding and some aspects of the methodology
related to the funding and the paper, in a revised form, was accepted by
another journal. What a dilemma!
The International Breastfeeding Journal does not accept funding from the
infant formula industry. An editorial to this effect can be found at:
http://www.internationalbreastfeedingjournal.com/content/2/1/5
You will see that a piece I did 'head to head' on this topic in the British
Journal of Midwifery is cited.
I also have a real problem with research funded by companies with a
commercial interest in the outcomes of women's infant feeding decisions (I
know this will open a debate and many will violently disagree with me) --
so, for example, pump companies.
For something about the way my organisation, The Breastfeeding Network,
thinks about this:
