==Letters== *2000, Rapid Response - [[pubmed:10681294|Functional somatic syndromes]]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Goudsmit | first = E. | author-link = Ellen Goudsmit | date = Feb 15, 2000 | title = Functional somatic syndromes |url =https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10681294|journal=[[Annals of Internal Medicine]]|volume=132|issue=4 | pages = 328|issn=0003-4819|pmid=10681294|quote=The authors’ discussion of the chronic fatigue syndrome was highly selective and clearly aimed at supporting the authors’ hypothesis. When I searched MEDLINE, I found little evidence for the alleged link between chronic fatigue syndrome and incorrect attributions, symptom amplification, and the other psychosocial factors mentioned in the article (5). In fact, many of the arguments seemed to rely on generalizations, oversimplification, and a theory-led blindness to individual differences. <br >Given the reputation of the journal, I was surprised that this article was published in this form. For instance, the authors were allowed to present opinions as facts, to refer to other reviews rather than the research, and to ignore the many studies that undermined their hypothesis. Would such obvious bias be acceptable in obstetrics or oncology? If this article was subjected to peer review, the review wasn’t very rigorous: Those involved either were not familiar with the subject or shared the authors’ prejudices. Whatever the reason, the authors’ lack of objectivity resulted in the publication of a poorly researched article that misrepresented the research and perpetuated myths. What happened to evidence-based medicine?|via=}}</ref> *2001, [https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/1031656 Measuring the Quality of Trials of Treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Goudsmit | first = Ellen M. | author-link = Ellen Goudsmit | date = 2001-12-26 | title = Measuring the Quality of Trials of Treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | url =https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/1031656|journal=JAMA|language=en|volume=286|issue=24 | pages = 3078–3079|doi=10.1001/jama.286.24.3075|issn=0098-7484|quote=|via=}}</ref> *2002, [https://bjgp.org/content/52/482/763 (Letter)] - responding to an editorial by Stanley et al.<ref name=":2" /> *2004, (Rapid Response) - [https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/30/please-believe-psychiatrists-cfs Please believe psychiatrists with CFS]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Goudsmit | first = Ellen | author-link = Ellen Goudsmit | date = Oct 30, 2011 | title = Please believe psychiatrists with CFS| url = https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/30/please-believe-psychiatrists-cfs|journal=[[BMJ]]|language=en|volume=|issue=| pages=|quote=|via=}}</ref> *2015, [http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/response-to-article-re-pace.41779/ Response to article in the magazine published by the UK charity MCS-Aware]
