Robert Motzer was not happy when he learned that his manuscript about the treatment of renal cancer with sunitinib could not be considered for publication by the Journal. His paper was rejected not on the basis of the science it reported or of the Journal's editorial priorities, but because of the study's inadequate registration in the ClinicalTrials.gov database.
