反诽谤法改革顺利通过得益于由作家协会性质的英国笔会；四十年来监督各地审查行为并出版受审查作品的双月刊杂志《查禁目录 》 ； 以及宣传科学知识和科学意识的“科学智识”等三家机构在三年前共同发起的一项活动。
The passage of libel reform is attributable to a campaign launched more than three years ago by three organizations: English PEN, a writers association; Index on Censorship, a bimonthly journal that has monitored censorship worldwide and published the works of censored writers for the past four decades; and Sense About Science, an organization that promotes scientific knowledge and understanding.
