Environmental Health Perspectives, a leading journal in environmental health, has suspended the acceptance of new research studies for publication due to significant federal funding cuts from the National Institutes of Health. For over five decades, the journal has relied on federal support to facilitate the publication of important research regarding environmental toxins and health. The editors expressed concern about the future sustainability of the journal, particularly regarding essential contracts for editorial services. Experts warn that this pause could severely limit access to crucial health information necessary for informed decision-making regarding environmental issues.
It's reducing the ability for people to have good information that can be used to make good decisions.
The editors made the decision to halt acceptance of studies because of a lack of confidence that contracts for critical expenses would be renewed.
