Elsevier has admitted publishing, as part of its Excerpta Medica imprint, six medical journals made to look as if they were independent, scholarly, peer-reviewed publications, when actually they were sponsored by drug companies. The first to come to light was the Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine, published from 2000 to 2005, sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme Australia. The other titles were the Australasian Journal of General Practice, Australasian Journal of Neurology, Australasian Journal of Cardiology, Australasian Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, and Australasian Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine.
