"published in a journal of infectious diseases, called The Lancet"
I realize not everybody knows the Lancet but as medical professional I chuckled at this...
- busyant 8y agoIf you follow the link, that's not quite where the error lies. The article was actually published in "The Lancet Infectious Diseases", which is a sub-specialty journal affiliated w/ The Lancet. Just in case that's not clear... * The blog-post/article suggests that the research article was published in "The Lancet." * The Lancet is a prestigious British medical journal that publishes research on a broad range of medical topics. * The research article was actually published in "The Lancet Infectious Diseases" which is a specialty journal affiliated with its more prestigious "mother journal" called The Lancet. * The author of the blog-post seems to have not realized what The Lancet is, and incorrectly used its name.
