Neurobiology of Lipids, wrote an
<http://stlq.info/archives/001106.html#comments>Open Letter on a Call to
Boycott Cell Press, expanding the grounds for the boycott from high prices
to compromised academic integrity.

I appreciate your sharing my view that ethical issues and integrity are
intrinsically linked to the biomedical publishing.

If so, don't you think that the lack of determination on the academic
integrity issues (set in the Open letter and reported on previously) by
those named at length of my letter and in quoted documents means their
support of the itemized unfair practices?

With best regard for the Happy Holidays Season 2003 !

Sincerely,

Alexei Koudinov, MD, PhD
