Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine and Aberrant Medical Practices (SRAM) is a scientific journal published by the Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health. It claims to be "the only peer-reviewed journal devoted exclusively to objectively analyzing the claims of "alternative medicine."
The SRAM website states:
- The purpose of the Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine is to apply the best tools of science and reason to determine whether hypotheses are valid and treatments are effective. It will reject no claims because it fits, or fails to fit, some paradigm. It will simply seek justified answers to two questions: "Is it true?" and "Does this treatment work?"
According to its editor, SRAM was evaluated at least three times by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for Medline/PubMed indexing, and rejected each time. As of December 2007, the journal is not listed at PubMed.
As of December 2007, SRAM's most recent issue, according to its website, is Fall/Winter 2004-05, Volume 8, Number 2.
