Edit at your own risk

The list of fired medical journal editors became longer in February when the two top editors at the Canadian Medical Association Journal were fired after a dispute with the publisher over an article about emergency contraception. The deposed editors have joined a distinguished club whose members include: George Lundberg, whom the American Medical Association deposed as editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association after he published a sex survey in 1999 at the height of the Clinton impeachment hearings; and Jerome Kassirer, whose contract as editor of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) was not renewed after disagreements with the publisher over expanding the journal's brand name.
