Science-Based Medicine is a website with articles covering issues in science and medicine,[1][2] especially dangerous medical scams and practices.[3] Science-Based Medicine is noted as an influential and respected source of information about medical controversies and alternative medicine.[4][5][6][7][8]

Steven Novella, a clinical neurologist at Yale University, founded the site as a blog and serves as its executive editor.[9][10] David Gorski, a surgical oncologist at Wayne State University, serves as the managing editor.[11][12][13] Both editors and the blog's regular contributors are prominent skeptics, doctors, researchers, and communicators.[3]

Editorial staff

The Science-Based Medicine editorial staff describes themselves as "being alarmed at the manner in which unscientific and pseudoscientific health care ideas have increasingly infiltrated academic medicine and medicine at large"; they state that the best medicine is based on scientific principles, which includes prior plausibility, not based on evidence alone.[14]
