The Journal

Academic rigour?

From Mr P. E. Penson, MRPharmS

I was interested to read “Patients question pharmacists’ skills for MURs” (PJ, 10 December, p712) until I discovered that only 29 patients had given their opinion. Why is a supposedly reputable journal headlining the results of research conducted with such a small sample? What has happened to The Journal’s academic rigour?
