TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Guns in the medical literature: A failure of peer review JO - Journal of the Medical Association of Georgia A1 - Suter, E. A. SP - 133 EP - 148 VL - 83 IS - 3 N2 - Errors of fact, design, and interpretation abound in the medical literature on guns and violence. The peer review process has failed to prevent publication of the errors of politicized, results-oriented research. Most of the data on guns and violence are available in the criminologic, legal, and social sciences literature, yet such data escape acknowledgment or analysis of the medical literature. Lobbyists and other partisans continue to promulgate the fallacies that cloud the public debate and impede the development of effective strategies to reduce violence in our society. This article examines a representative sample of politicized and incompetent research.
