Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Alternative medicine/Standards of Quality/Archive 1
I recently looked at the Wikipedia page for the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. This is a peer-reviewed, pubmed indexed journal with a respectable impact factor. The Wiki page cites Qwakwatch as a source identifying this as an unreliable source of information, the page then cites one critique of the methodology employed in one article that this journal published. Qwakwatch is notorious for disseminating unfounded criticisms of any and all alternative therapies, and of organizations and journals that present any information supporting their value. It is so notorious in this regard that it has lost credibility even within the orthodox biomedical community, e.g. the Countway LIbrary web site at Harvard Medical School no longer provides a link to Qwakwatch on its resources page for alternative and complementary medicine. It is distressing the Wikipedia disqualifies one of the most widely recognized and cited journals for alternative medicine research on this basis, while discounting the fact that the national library of medicine sees fit to index its articles. What can I do to correct this error?
