Interesting: Juul: Taking Academic Corruption to a New Level

The e-cigarette company bought an entire issue of a scholarly journal, with all the articles written by authors on its payroll, to ‘prove’ that its product has a public benefit.

The journal is American Journal of Health Behavior, Juul apparently paid $51k which included $6.5k to make the issue public access.

The issue is at https://ajhb.org/wp-content/up...1/04/AJHB_JUUL_Special_Issue.pdf
