Dr. Pierpont will be publishing her report in two formats: (1) as a
low-priced, widely available paperback book, followed by (2) a much
shorter article in a clinical academic journal. The reason for this
two-tier approach is that clinical journals do not publish 100-page
articles; their word limit is generally 3,000 words or less. Wind Turbine
Syndrome consists of 60+ pages of interview tables and over 19,000 words
of text. Moreover clinical journals often require a hefty, per-page
charge (up to $85/page) to publish online (consider: up to $85 x 100
pp. = $8,500 for Dr. Pierpont to publish this in an online journal),
and, although some journals allow open access for select articles, most
charge readers (you) $30-$35 to download a hard copy. Hence the reason
for a paperback followed by a much shorter clinical article.
Wind Turbine Syndrome is a 100-plus page clinical, scientific report,
easily readable by non-clinicians. It is the complete and authoritative
report on Wind Turbine Syndrome to date. The intended audience is clinicians
(such as your family doctor) and people who are (or about to be) living
in the shadow of wind turbines. Based on the evidence presented, it
calls for a minimum of 2 km setbacks of industrial turbines from people’s
homes.
