About half the editors at the most prestigious medical journals in the U.S. receive payments from the pharmaceutical or medical device industries. Only 30 percent of these journals make it clear to readers what their policies are regarding such conflicts of interest. Is this a problem? Maybe.
All doctors depend on these journals for accurate and unbiased information on health and medical issues to treat their patients.
Medical journals should have transparency about who funds their publication. Researchers need to give full disclosure in their articles about their funding. Journal editors and reviewers should be held to the same standard.
