Franz Swoboda, Harry van der Zee,

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Studies

Some two years ago, I exchanged with Harry van der Zee my idea that homeopaths should share their views before publication. Copublishing is a standard procedure in science – yet not so much so in homeopathy. He thought it a nice idea, but he figured it might be hard to realise. Homeopaths, he added, prefer to think and work independently. But, I replied, wouldnʼt their conclusions become more precise and comprehensive were homeopaths to discuss their findings before publication? They would have collected their findings, exchanged their ideas, compared their opinions and finally have published together. My wise friend did not want to argue with me and did not say much more.
