Homeopathy is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering research, reviews, and debates on all aspects of homeopathy, a pseudoscientific[1] [2] [3] [4] form of alternative medicine. It is the official journal of the London-based Faculty of Homeopathy. The journal was established in 1911 as the British Homoeopathic Journal, resulting from a merger between the British Homoeopathic Review and the Journal of the British Homoeopathic Society.[5] [6] It uses its current name since 2001[7] and the editor-in-chief is Robert Mathie.

Publisher

The journal was originally published by Nature Publishing Group,[8] and was then published by Elsevier. Elsevier's decision to publish this journal has been called into question, given homeopathy's proven ineffectiveness and unscientific status.[9] Elsevier's Vice President of Global Corporate Relations, Thomas Reller, has defended Elsevier's decision to publish the journal, saying that "We support debate around this topic".[10] The journal has been published by Thieme Medical Publishers since 2018.[11]
