I-Lancet kanye ne-New England Journal of Medicine amajenali amabili ezokwelapha ahlonishwa kakhulu emhlabeni.
Ngakho-ke kuyamangaza ukuthi bobabili abahleli abakhulu babo bavume esidlangalaleni ukuthi inkohlakalo ibhubhisa isayensi.
Umhleli Omkhulu weLancet uRichard Horton wabhala:
Izincwadi eziningi zesayensi, mhlawumbe ingxenye, zingase zingabi yiqiniso. Ikhungethwe izifundo ezinosayizi abancane besampula, imiphumela enganakwa, ukuhlaziya kosesho okunganembile, nokungqubuzana okusobala kwezithakazelo, okuhambisana nokuthatheka ngamathrendi emfashini anokubaluleka okungabazisayo, isayensi isiphendukele ebumnyameni. Njengoba omunye umhlanganyeli ekubeka, "izindlela ezimbi ziyasebenza." I-Academy of Medical Science, i-Medical Research Council, kanye ne-Biotechnology and Biotechnology Research Council manje babeka idumela labo ngaphambi kokuphenya ngalezi zinqubo zocwaningo ezingabazekayo. Imvelo esobala ekhona [okungukuthi, ukwanda ngaphakathi kwesiko lesayensi] lokuziphatha okungamukeleki kokuhlola kuyethusa.
Emzamweni wabo wokuxoxa indaba ekhangayo, ososayensi bavame ukuhlanganisa idatha ukuze ihambisane nesithombe abasifisayo somhlaba. Noma balungisa ama-hypotheses kudatha yabo. Abahleli bomagazini nabo bafanelwe ukugxekwa kakhulu. Sisiza futhi senze kube lula ukuziphatha okubi kakhulu. Ukwamukela kwethu abagqugquzeli buthule kubhebhezela ukuncintisana okungenampilo endaweni kumamagazini ambalwa akhethiwe. Uthando lwethu "lokubaluleka" lufaka ubuthi ezincwadini ngenqwaba yezinganekwane zezibalo. Siyazenqaba izitatimende ezibalulekile. Amalogi akubona kuphela abahlaseli. Amanyuvesi asempini eqhubekayo yemali nethalente, enikeza amaphuzu avuna izindlela zokunciphisa njengokushicilela okuhlaba umxhwele. Izinqubo zokuhlola zikahulumeni ezifana ne-ResearchExcellenceFramework zikhuthaza izenzo ezingalungile. Futhi ososayensi ngabanye, kuhlanganise nabaphathi babo abakhulu kakhulu, benza okuncane kakhulu ekuguquleni isiko lokucwaninga, ngezinye izikhathi elingena ebubini.
Okuningi okufanayo kwabhalwa ngo-2009 ngumhleli we-New England Journal of Medicine, uDkt. Marcia Angell:
Akusenakwenzeka ukwethemba ucwaningo oluningi lomtholampilo olushicilelwe noma ukuncika ekwahluleleni kodokotela abathembekile noma iziqondiso zezokwelapha ezigunyaziwe. Angithokozile ngalesi siphetho, engafika kuso kancane kancane futhi ngokunganaki ngemva kweminyaka engamashumi amabili njengomhleli we-New England Journal of Medicine.
Endabeni yakhe okufanele ifundwe, uDkt. Angell kudlule yizinkampani ezithaka imithi, izikole zezokwelapha zasenyuvesi, namaqembu ezokwelapha abeka imibandela yokuxilongwa nokwelashwa, ezichaza njengezicwile enkohlakalweni nasekungqubuzaneni kwezintshisekelo.
Umfundisi wesifazane odumile kanye nowesifazane wesifazane, uprofesa uCamila Paglia encwadini ethi "Ama-vamps nama-Tramps” uyabhala:
“Kudingeka sikuqaphele ukudideka okungaba yingozi kokushoshozelwa kwezitabane nesayensi, okukhiqiza inkulumo-ze engaphezu kweqiniso. Ososayensi bezitabane kufanele babe ososayensi kuqala, bese kuba yizitabane. "
"Kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, isimo sesiphumile ekuphathweni: isayensi ethembekile ayinakwenzeka uma inkulumo enengqondo ilawulwa ngabashayeli bezivunguvungu, kulokhu izishoshovu ezithi zithanda iqiniso, zibe nokuthanda iqiniso."
Njengoba izincwadi zesayensi zixhaswa kakhulu ngohulumeni, izikhungo zamazwe ngamazwe, kanye ezinye izikhungo zezimali, cabangela ukuthi imiphi imigomo abaqondiswa yiyo (izingcaphuno ezivela ku Umbiko weClub of Rome):
Amazwe acebile azibophezele ekuhlinzekeni ngezempilo zokuzala kanye nezinsizakalo zokuhlela umndeni ngokuhambisana ne-Cairo Agenda for Action ka-1994, kodwa abekho ohulumeni bezwe noma abanikeli abake bafeza izithembiso ezenziwa eCairo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi cishe isigamu sesigidi sabesifazane emhlabeni wonke basashona ngesikhathi sokubeletha minyaka yonke. Amakhulu ezigidi zemibhangqwana ayinazo izindlela zokuvimbela inzalo, isimo iSonto LamaKatolika eliye lasiza ukuba siqhubeke kwaze kwaba muva nje.

Izishoshovu ze-“Nuchpop” ziziphatha ngendlela efanayo: zisakaza ulwazi olungamanga oluhlobene nokukhuthazwa kobungqingili.
