The highly profitable but unethical business of publishing medical research

Richard Smith was editor of the BMJ and chief executive of the BMJ Publishing Group for 13 years. In his last year at the journal he retreated to a 15th century palazzo in Venice to write a book. The book will be published by RSM Press [http://www.rsmpress.co.uk], and this is the 6th in the series published in the JRSM.
