Gilbert, I read the original paper entitled "Evidence-based medicine: its effect on treatment recommendations as illustrated by the changing role of postmastectomy irradiation to treat breast cancer by S. H. Levitt, D. Aeppli and M. B. Nierengarten in Int. J. Radiat. Oncol. Biol. Phys., 2003, 55(3):645-50. I also read the author S. H. Levitt's response to your non-peer reviewed letter. > >Of course you did it all in a day (from my post to >your response), perhaps without understanding much >about what you read. > No, you are mistaken. I understood what you wrote in your brief letter, and what the original review article had to say. How much time did it take you to read the original paper?

If you are asking in general if any journal has accepted my peer reviews or original articles for publication in the past then the answer is yes. > >Is not that the test of credibility? > Publishing a non-peered reviewed letter in response to some original article is not a test of credibility. Only getting a peer reviewed genuinely original article published is. Cheers, Santosh
