    September 1, 2016 Erik Engstrom CEO, RELX Group 1-3 Strand London, WC2N 5JR, UK RE: ME/CFS coverage in your publication, The Lancet Dear Mr. Engstrom, On behalf of the Solve ME/CFS Initiative and as a patient with Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I am writing to bring your attention to a matter of vital importance to the ME/CFS community, the PACE Trials and your publication, The Lancet. I am writing to ask that you continue the good name and reputation of The Lancet within the ME/CFS scientific community by facilitating an open discussion of the PACE trials and committing to publish an independent review of the trial data now that a First- Tier Tribunal has ordered the data to be released. As you may know, ME/CFS is a complex, neuro-immune disease with no known cause, treatment, diagnostic tool, nor cure. It is estimated that up to 20 million people worldwide are stricken with ME/CFS from ages 10 to 80 of any race, gender, or socio- economic class and this disease leaves its patients with lower quality of life scores than lung cancer, stroke, and rheumatoid arthritis. (Source: Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness IOM 2015 And, The Health- Related Quality of Life for Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. PLoS One. 2015; 10(7): e0132421.Published online 2015 Jul 6.) The PACE Trials concluded, in contrast to over 4,000 other scientific publications, that this disease was psychological in nature. The Pace Trial evaluated a series of treatments which it claimed was successful in helping patients with ME/CFS.

  • Information for Authors
    Information for Authors The Lancet is an international general medical journal that will consider any original contribution that advances or illuminates medical science or practice, or that educates or entertains the journal’s readers. Whatever you have written, remember that it is the general reader whom you are trying to reach. One way to find out if you have succeeded is to show your draft to colleagues in other specialties. If they do not understand, neither, very probably, will The Lancet’s staff or readers. Manuscripts must be solely the work of the author(s) stated, must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration by another journal. For randomised controlled trials or research papers judged to warrant fast dissemination, The Lancet will publish a peer-reviewed manuscript within 4 weeks of receipt (see Swift+ and Fast-track publication). If you wish to discuss your proposed fast-track submission with an editor, please call one of the editorial offices in London (+44 [0] 20 7424 4950), New York (+1 212 633 3667), or Beijing (+86 10 852 08872). The Lancet is a signatory journal to the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Recommendations for the Medical Journals, issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE Recommendations), and to the Committee Conduct, Reporting, Editing, on Publication Ethics (COPE) code of conduct for editors. We follow COPE’s guidelines. and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals http://www.icmje.org If your question is not addressed on these pages then the journal’s editorial staff in London (+44 [0] 20 7424 4950), New York (+1 212 633 3810), or Beijing (+86 10 852 08872) will be pleased to help (email [email protected]).
