Medical Hypotheses is a medical journal which provides a forum for unconventional ideas in medicine. The journal seeks to publish "radical ideas, so long as they are coherent and clearly expressed." Submitted papers do not go through the peer review process. The editors choose which articles to publish on the basis of interest and importance in order to foster debate. The journal's philosophy is that the authors, rather than peer reviewers or the editorial staff, hold responsibility for the integrity, precision and accuracy of their work.1
The journal was founded by David Horrobin. The original Editorial Board comprised: the double Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, the Nobel Laureate Sir Macfarlane Burnet, the philosopher Sir Karl Popper, the Nobel laureate in physiology Sir John Eccles and the acclaimed physiologist Arthur Guytoncitation needed. Among others its mid-2008 board included Antonio Damasio, Vilayanur S. Ramachandran, David Healy and the Nobel laureate Arvid Carlsson.2 The journal's impact factor in 2007 was 1.276.1 A spin-off journal Bioscience Hypotheses was launched in 2008.
