Homeopathy is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering research, reviews, and debates on all aspects of homeopathy, a controversial form of alternative medicine. It is the official journal of the Luton-based Faculty of Homeopathy. The journal was established in 1911 as the British Homoeopathic Journal, resulting from a merger between the British Homoeopathic Review and the Journal of the British Homoeopathic Society.[1][2] It obtained its current name in 2001[3] and the editor-in-chief is Peter Fisher. The journal was originally published by Nature Publishing Group,[4] and then it has been published by Elsevier for sixteen years. Elsevier's decision to publish this journal has been called into question, given homeopathy's proven ineffectiveness and unscientific status.[5] Elsevier's Vice President of Global Corporate Relations, Thomas Reller, has defended Elsevier's decision to publish the journal, saying that "We support debate around this topic".[6]
The journal is now published by Thieme Medical Publishers.[7]
