Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Department of Health and Human Services, announced intentions to restrict federally funded scientists from publishing in top-tier medical journals like The Lancet and JAMA. He claims these journals are corrupt and suggests creating government-led publications as alternatives. This stance reflects broader ideological shifts within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which has seen decreased prestige in its funding, job cuts, and a wave of terminated grants. Critics warn this move could undermine scientific credibility and hinder advancements in medical research.
The government's potential move to create in-house journals reflects a shift in funding priorities that could undermine the integrity of scientific publishing.
Kennedy's remarks suggest a sweeping re-evaluation of established medical journals, alleging corruption without citing evidence, raising concerns over scientific integrity.
