Talk:Clinical Therapeutics

Untitled

Greetings. I am the publisher of Clinical Therapeutics and found this page with a number of errors listed. I corrected those, added detail about the journal, and posted. Today, all of that detail is gone. For instance: An error, journal start date, was posted as 1993. I corrected to 1977. Today it is wrong again, changed to 1979. If edits made to the information are not understood and accepted, why bother? RandyKitty is listed as the person who made these changes, including reverting to earlier text. Please respond. 198.185.18.207 (talk) 19:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Terry Materese

• Hi Terry, please read our conflict of interest policy. I arrived at 1979 by extrapolating from ScienceDirect. If that is incorrect (because perhaps some years no volumes appeared), we need a source to base this on. As for many of the other things that you changed, I reverted that for several reasons. Parts were copied verbatim from the journal website. That is a/ a violation of copyright and b/ non-encyclopedic promotional language and either a or b is unacceptable. I also deleted the list of editors/board members, see our journal article writing guide. Finally, you also added a lot of indexing services. Some of those are redundant (e.g., SciSearch is just a different access platform of the Science Citation Index). Other were incorrect (for example, we have no article for the different versions of Current Contents, so Current Contents/Clinical Medicine really needs to be Current Contents/Clinical Medicine. Yet other ones were trivial (e.g., SIIC or Smoking and Health) or unclear (Medical Documentation Service). Perhaps not all of them, but all the inappropriate edits (as explained above) made it easier to revert wholesale rather than spend the time to go through it with a fine comb. If there are any important things that need to be changed, please post them here (with sources) and I'll make the edits if appropriate. Hope this explains. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 20:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
