Ethical implications of advertising in medical journals
Abstract
Dear Concerned Dermatologist: A large proportion of dermatologists now primarily access journals electronically. Pharmaceutical ads, often present on journal webpages, can be distracting and slow down site navigation. Pop-up ads that block content, forcing the reader to find the “X: to close” them, are especially distracting.
