==Editorial bias== A number of highly influential journals have published editorials either strongly in favor of controversial treatments, criticizing key publications which challenged the journals' previous ideas about [[ME/CFS]], or harshly criticizing advocates, patients and even some researchers or clinicians who raised genuine scientific queries or made scientific criticisms of research; such criticism has continued for decades despite changes in editorship.<ref name="ColbyDowsettEditorial">{{Cite journal | last = Dowsett | first=E.
