And now, a word for our sponsor . . .
Canadian Medical Association Journal 1980; 122:1343


Abstract:

It costs $2 million annually to produce the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Without advertising in the CMAJ it would cost readers $40 per year instead of being free. Journal advertising is now under the control of the Pharmaceutical Advertising Advisory Board which ensures that advertising has a sound scientific basis, provides complete and accurate product information and doesn’t make outlandish or extravagant claims. Advertising fulfils an educational role not only by giving physicians information but also by indirectly subsidizing publications like the CMAJ.
