Recent big news has become a topic of conversation on the EBVMA Listserv and was recently posted by Immediate Past-President, David Ramey, DVM:

The webpage for Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a journal that had dubious publication standards, now includes this announcement by its publisher, John Wiley & Sons Ltd: “Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine ceased publishing as of September 2024.” A PubMed search reveals 1,497 papers in the journal have been retracted. It previously became front-page news: “John Wiley & Sons, a global publication house with revenues north of $2 billion, announced on May 19, 2024, that it was closing 19 journals it acquired as part of its 2021 purchase of Egypt-based Hindawi publishing company, citing large-scale research fraud.” [Ernst E. The infamous journal ‘Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine’ is no more! EdzardErnst.com, Oct 12, 2024]
