Alternative Viewpoints

The Alternative Viewpoints department is composed of correspondence that clarifies or challenges any of our previously published articles and whose publication would benefit the readership in general. Submissions to this department must be received within 3 months of the publication of the article in question and are limited to a maximum of 300 words. The authors of articles that are being commented upon are given an opportunity to reply to the critiques

Beginning in September 2006, Alternative Viewpoints are no longer published in the print journal, but will be published online only. It is our intent that this will allow for a quicker turnaround in these discussions, and that this will further the basic reason for this department, which is to foster discussion of new and controversial ideas in pharmacy.
