:In 2001, the American Journal of Kidney Diseases published an article that touted the use of synthetic vitamin D. Its author was listed as [[Alex J. Brown]], an associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

:But recently, that same article was featured as a work sample by a different person: [[Michael Anello]], a free-lance medical writer, who posted a summary of it on his Web site. Mr. Anello says he was hired to write the article by a communications firm working for Abbott Laboratories, which makes a version of the vitamin D product. Dr. Brown agrees he got help in writing but says he redid part of the draft.<ref>Anna Wilde Mathews (The Wall Street Journal) '[http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05347/621668-114.stm At medical journals, paid writers play big role]' ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'', Tuesday, December 13, 2005
</ref>

:In the case of the vitamin D article, Dr. Brown says Abbott asked him to write it but he didn't have time. He had written an earlier article on the subject. "They said they would have one of their people write it, update my old review article and I would check it," he recalls. Mr. Anello, a Milwaukee writer who studied biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin, says he wrote the new article. "I've done a lot of ghostwriting jobs," he says, adding that sometimes he works closely with the named authors.

:Dr. Brown says he had to rewrite "at least 30 percent to 40 percent" of Mr. Anello's draft. In retrospect, he says, he probably should have asked Abbott who Mr. Anello was and "if that person should be acknowledged." Abbott said the article's content was "under the complete discretion" of Dr. Brown and didn't discuss details. The journal's managing editor declined to comment because the journal is under new management.

:Following questions from The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Anello removed the article summary from his Web site. Until recently, his online bibliography listed other scientific publications he has written under others' bylines that have yet to be published. The byline on one was "author to be named."<ref>Anna Wilde Mathews (The Wall Street Journal) '[http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05347/621668-114.stm At medical journals, paid writers play big role]' ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'', Tuesday, December 13, 2005

Top Think Tanks for Innovative Ideas

* 1. Cato Institute Cato’s libertarian stance, once viewed as fringe, is now considered respectable. With its anti-incumbent, anti-Washington attitude, Cato has antagonized liberals with its push to privatize Social Security, as well as conservatives with its vigorous opposition to the Iraq war.
* 2. Brookings Institution From heathcare reform to recommendations on closing the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Brookings has a breadth of expertise that allows it to offer innovative fixes for nearly every critical issue facing the United States today.
* 3. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Carnegie’s role in opposing the invasion of Iraq and providing critical research on issues such as Iran’s and North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs places it at the heart of some of Washington’s defining policy debates.

Best New Think Tanks (of the last 5 years)

* 1. European Council on Foreign Relations Populated by European heavyweights like Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari and former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, the ECFR aims to craft a common foreign policy for an increasingly integrated Europe.
* 2. Bruegel Funded by EU member states and located in Brussels, Bruegel specializes in driving European economic growth and making the continent more competitive in the global economy.
* 3. Center for American Progress Thanks to its all-star roster of experts and savvy use of new media, CAP has emerged as the intellectual center of Democratic D.C.

Most Impact on Public Policy Debates

* 1. Brookings Institution When important debates occur in Washington—whether over Middle East peace, global finance, or urban strategy—it’s a fair bet that Brookings is driving the conversation.
* 2. Heritage Foundation A partisan approach, obsession with the latest policy issues, an effective marketing strategy, and proximity to the seat of power (it is steps away from the U.S. Congress) give Heritage an influential edge.

The Think Tank Index
Methodology

Prior to launching the Think Tank Index, extensive research was conducted to develop a comprehensive list of all think tanks in the world. Relying on previous studies, think tank directories and databases, and experts in the field, 5,465 institutions worldwide were identified for inclusion in the study.

To create a more manageable list from which to identify leading think tanks, an international group of scholars, think tank executives, public and private donors, and policymakers were then asked to nominate think tanks they consider to be the best in the world. These experts used selection criteria such as a think tank's ability to retain elite scholars and analysts; access to elites in policymaking, media, and academia; media reputation; reputation with policymakers; scholarly output; and usefulness of the organization's information, among others. This effort resulted in a list of approximately 400 think tanks worldwide that were then included in the Think Tank Impact Survey.

The Think Tank Impact Survey was then sent to hundreds of think tank scholars, think tank executives, and government and NGO personnel who fund think tanks. More than 150 responses from this panel of experts were received. These respondents ranked the list of think tanks by region and research area, the results of which are seen here.

== clarify BICOM? ==

HI Steve (copying to David as not sure who can more easily fix this)

on this page http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Britain_Israel_Communications_and_Research_Centre

we have the following:

:Tim Llewellyn, a former BBC correspondent and Middle East expert had this to say about BICOM:
::"The answer remains, the Zionist lobby in all it devious forms. ...

the quote leads straight into an answer when we haven't been given the question. Doesn't hang together as is, so can we include the question? and I think Llewellyn may not be speaking for himself here but for Adams and Mayhew? It isn't totally clear from the source but it seems he is just presenting in the answer what these 2 say in their book (albeit that he agrees with them)? This should be made clear in our article. Also is the source that is referenced (footnote no 6) supposed to be a version with a load of html in it? can we get a better version?

thank you!

== aluminium? ==

Hi David.

Just wondering if you've given any thought to my query about whether you are happy for me to research metals and mining companies..aluminium especially - I am hoping to particularly look at their use of offsets/CDM but also generally fill in based on my experience and expand this... that ok, or would you rather I stick with climate portal as is?

Hope alls well. xx --[[User:Miriam Rose|Miriam Rose]] 16:41, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
