Hit for six

BMJ needs to decide whether it is a journal or magazine

The first 100% of the full text of this article appears below.

EDITOR—It is surprising that an article such as the analysisof test matches between India and Pakistan by Abbasi and Khanis published in a reputed journal.¹ The BMJ likes to remindits readers time and again about the lack of publication space,and I believe many good articles (pertaining to medicine) areturned down for this reason. There is a difference between amedical journal and a magazine. Otherwise you could appointSir Geoffrey Boycott as one of the editors of the BMJ.

I think that the BMJ is taking its readers for a ride—orperhaps hitting them for six.
