Criticism

A 2005 study in The Lancet found that between 1992 and 2002 Indoor and Built Environment was influenced by the tobacco industry. It was found that up to 61% of articles on indoor smoke published by the journal reached industry-positive conclusions, with up to 90% of these articles having at least one author with a history of association with the industry.[2]

Originally, the journal was funded by the International Society of the Built Environment (ISBE) and was published by Karger Publishers from 1992 to 2002. ISBE was closed in 2002 and re-launched in 2009 as a limited company by guarantee as a "Community Interest Company" - a not for profit company. The journal, Indoor Environment, was renamed Indoor and Built Environment in 1996 by John Hoskins, who was editor-in-chief of the journal from 1994 to March 2009.
