Policies for posting biomedical journal information on the Internet from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, adopted as policy May 7, 1997, are in CMAJ 157 (1997), 1378. It includes: "As a minimum, sites should indicate the names of editors, authors, and contributors and their affiliations, relevant credentials, and relevant conflicts of interest;documentation and attribution of references and sources for all content; information about copyright; disclosure of site ownership; and disclosure of sponsorship, advertising, and commercial funding. Linking from one health or medical Internet site to another may be perceived as a recommendation of the quality of the second site. Journals thus should exercise caution in linking to other sites. If links to other sites are posted as a result of financial considerations, such should be clearly indicated. All dates of content posting and updating should be indicated. In electronic layout, as in print, advertising and promotional messages should not be juxtaposed with editorial content. Any commercial content should be clearly identified as such."
