鉴于普遍存在的导致利益冲突的出现或事实的财务和非财务问题,建议一般应假定存在利益冲突,无论财务支持的来源或明确声明的冲突,甚至与个人自己的工作有关。没有提出新的模型来修改同行评审过程或详细阐述作者的利益声明。研究人员应尽可能评估已发表作品的质量,并就作品的适当使用做出自己的决定。虽然一些明显的冲突根源可能比其他冲突更明显和严重,但即使是更微妙的偏见也会影响科学报告。不鼓励因为利益冲突而忽略经过同行评审的贡献。我们鼓励以怀疑的态度倾听所有消息来源,包括你自己。
In light of the widespread existence of financial and non-financial issues that contribute to the appearance or fact of conflict of interest, it is proposed that conflict of interest should generally be assumed, no matter the source of financial support or the expressed declarations of conflicts and even with respect to one's own work. No new model is advanced for modification of peer-review processes or for elaboration of author declarations of interest. Researchers should be assessing the quality of published work as best they can and make their own decisions on the appropriate use of the work. While some apparent sources of conflict are likely more obvious and serious than others, even subtler biases can influence scientific reports. Ignoring peer-reviewed contributions because of conflict-of-interest concerns is discouraged. Listening skeptically to all sources, including yourself, is encouraged.
