The current editor-in-chief is Andrew W. Campbell.

Founding and content

When it launched, it was one of several journals about alternative medicine that were aimed primarily at doctors; it and similar journals carried advertisements for "unproven homeopathic products, shark cartilage, naturopathic remedies and other health food store items oriented toward cancer."[2] David Gorski on the website Science-Based Medicine pointed out that United States Senator Tom Harkin (who was instrumental in drafting the legislation that funded the Office of Alternative Medicine but later criticized the self-same office's reliance on evidence-based testing) wrote two different commentaries in the journal's inaugural issue:Шаблон:BlockquoteШаблон:BlockquoteElsewhere on the website, Jann Bellamy, Florida attorney and founding member of the Institute for Science in Medicine,[3] described the journal as being "of dubious scientific rigor".[4]

Staff

The journal's founding editor-in-chief was Larry Dossey.[1] In 2004 Mark Hyman was appointed as chief editor, and in November 2008 David Riley, the journal's former medical editor, was appointed to the role.[5][6] The editorial staff changed in 2010, leading the editorial board to resign, but their names remained on the masthead as of 2013.[7] The editor-in-chief, as of 2013, was Andrew W. Campbell, and the journal's website listed him as practicing medicine in Texas, but in 2011 he was barred from practicing medicine in Texas and was apparently practicing in Florida.[7] The Texas Medical Board had taken repeated action against Campbell because he "relied on junk science, ordered inappropriate tests, and improperly diagnosed 'toxigenic mold exposure.'"[8]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine,[9] Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed,[10] Science Citation Index Expanded,[9] and Scopus.[11] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 1.329.[12]
