It has been years since a major physics journal published a paper on cold fusion.

There is a reason, believe it or not, why physics journals read by physicists are read by physicists. It's a matter of trust. If there is deceit happening in the journals, the journals very soon would become unreliable for transmission of information between and among scientists. Then, very soon after that, science would descend to the level of science in the 3rd world. Without communication, science would be destroyed.

If there is a reputable researcher out there doing work in cold fusion, he/she should:

(1) Never use the term "cold fusion" in their publications.

(2) Never cite as a reference an article mentioning "cold fusion".
