The Lancet is a peer-reviewed general medical journal, published weekly.

thelancet.com

One of the world's best-known and most respected general medical journals,[1] with editorial offices in London and New York, The Lancet was founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley, who named it after the surgical instrument called a lancet, as well as an arched window ("to let in light"). Since 1991 The Lancet is owned by Elsevier, a part of Reed Elsevier. As of 2008[update], the editor-in-chief is Richard Horton.

The Lancet has taken a political stand on several important medical and non medical issues. Recent examples include criticism of the World Health Organization, rejecting claims of the efficacy of homeopathy as a therapeutic option,[2] disapproval during the time Reed Exhibitions hosted arms industry fairs, and a call in 2003 for tobacco to be made illegal.[3]
