Abstract
Three leading journals have adopted or announced plans to adopt conflict-of-interest disclosure policies of unprecedented strictness. Addiction, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons are now requiring authors to disclose every financial tie, regardless of size, held within 3 years prior to submission. Editors from each journal collaborated with the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) to develop the policy, which the center released this week. Addiction editor Thomas Babor says it's an attempt to preserve scientific integrity amid revelations of scientists who concealed industry backing of their research. CSPI has circulated the model among hundreds of journals but no others have signed on; many feel their current policies are sufficient, says CSPI project director Merrill Goozner.
