Elsevier sells out

This is utterly shocking to me.

If there is one thing that science-based medicine requires to function properly, it's good science and well-designed clinical trials subjected to rigorous peer review. Moreover, that review has to be unbiased, and the journals publishing them cannot be tainted with undue influence of big pharma.

Unlike Orac, my short academic publishing career was dominated by Elsevier, and I thought of them as embodying integrity. More fool me!
