Reception

In 2005 the BBC used a report published by the journal as the basis of a story claiming that homeopathy was effective for some patients. [9] The article contradicted the findings of a study that had recently appeared in The Lancet , reporting that homeopathy was ineffective. [9] The methodology of the article in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine was criticized by pharmacologist David Colquhoun on his blog, saying that its questionnaire-based approach was "not really research at all" and that the published conclusion drawn from it was "quite ludicrous". In his view, "papers like this do not add to human knowledge, they detract from it". [10] Quackwatch has included the journal on its list of "nonrecommended periodicals", characterizing it as "fundamentally flawed". [11]

The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine is included in the Brandon/Hill listing of books and journals recommended for a small medical library. [12] The Osher Collaborative for Integrative Medicine, which includes Harvard University, Karolinska Institutet, Northwestern University, Vanderbilt University, University of California at San Francisco, University of Miami, and the University of Washington, has a partnership with the journal to publish regular invited commentaries as of February 2017.
