Senior officials at the US Department of Veterans Affairs have ordered that VA physicians and scientists not publish in medical journals or speak with the public without first seeking clearance from political appointees of Donald Trump, the Guardian has learned.
The edict, laid down in emails on Friday by Curt Cashour, the VA’s assistant secretary for public and intergovernmental affairs, and John Bartrum, a senior adviser to VA secretary Doug Collins, came hours after the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine published a perspective co-authored by two pulmonologists who work for the VA in Texas.
This is why we need an open access oasis where people can anonymously and securely drop their research papers, hosted in a safe country. Still wanna create my own but I’m too broke and don’t have enough skill to pull it off.
Not very anonymous when the list of suspects and list of authors is identical, unless I’m misunderstanding your idea.
