Talk:Ethopharmacology

Latest comment: 8 years ago by Klbrain

I propose merging this page to with the Pharmacology#Behavioral Pharmacology section on the grounds that it is:

  1. Too precise
  2. The term has fallen out of widespread use, with the last appearance in a pubmed title occuring in 2000, specigically Gomez and Baros.[1]
  3. It was never very popular as a term: only 12 articles use in the title (as listed on pubmed)
  4. The broader term "Behavioral Pharmacology" already redirects to that section on the Wikipedia page, even though there is a scientific journal with this title (Behavioural Pharmacology (journal)), helping to define the field.
  5. There is not enough content on this page to warrant a separate entry.

I had thought of a page move to a distinct Behavioral Pharmacology page, but a merge seems sufficient (given that the content is minimal.Klbrain (talk) 14:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
