” % of articles in medical journals are scientifically sound”

Smith R. BMJ 1991;303; 798-9

Only 1%

All myarticles are more than

100 % scientifically

sound !

Would 10 % do?

Many articles are neither read nor cited

Five years after articles in biomedicine were published 55% of them were not cited at all.

Library studies have shown that in a single year at least half of the journals on the shelves were not looked at even once.
