Another black mark for JAMA

Last week I reported on the problems the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) had with authors who did not disclose their financial ties to manufacturers whose products they tout. Well, it's happened again with the current issue of JAMA. This time the article is on migraines.

Update: The journal Neuropsychopharmacology (say that three times fast) will be publishing a correction to point out that a recent article was authored by people with a financial connection to the manufacturer. One of the authors is the editor of said journal.

Some medical/scientific publications are doing more than simply publishing corrections; they are banning the authors from being published for a period of time.
