Summary: | In a joint statement, Dr. (Jerome P.) Kassirer and Dr. Jack T. Evjy, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, which owns and publishes the journal, said that "there had been honest differences of opinion between Dr. Kassirer and the Medical Society over administrative and publishing issues." The statement didn't provide specific details about the differences of opinion. Drs. Kassirer and Evjy couldn't be reached late yesterday, and a spokesman for the society declined to elaborate. Dr. Evjy praised Dr. Kassirer as an "outstanding editor" under whose eight-year tenure the journal published "the most important clinical advances of our time" and provided "a vibrant forum to debate the most pressing health-policy issues of the era." He said Dr. Kassirer had "introduced many new features" to the journal, and had "redesigned it" and "shortened the turnaround time for manuscripts," among other things. |
