Alliteration in medicine: a puzzling profusion of p's

Abstract

Perhaps the author should examine what criteria are used when cover art is selected by JAMA and make specific recommendations for evaluation. The statistics would have much more credibility if a larger base of examples (perhaps starting with the 1960s) was used, particularly if some type of trend was noticed.The terminology of the paper could be better defined-what specifically are "stereotyped sex images"? What would be a good or healthy ratio of such stereotyped images? (The paper cites 74% of the cover art depicting humans as presenting stereotyped sex images.) I would also recommend using pejorative adjectives only when each one conveys something significant and different and can be specifically evidenced. AbstractProblem Puzzling, progressive profusion of alliterative "p's" in published papers.
