How Can Journals Respond to Threats of Libel Litigation?

Nav Persaud, Thom Ringer and Trudo Lemmens

PLOS Medicine, 2014, vol. 11, issue 3, 1-4

Abstract: : Trudo Lemmens and colleagues discuss how the mere suggestion of litigation can bias the medical literature by affecting editorial decisions. They argue that journals and authors should publicly post threats of litigation, or cease and desist letters, for which there are some international legal precedents.
