本研究考察了科学和生物医学期刊对作者采用利益冲突(COI)政策的程度,以及这些政策的采用和内容是否导致这些期刊发表作者的财务利益披露声明。特别是,它报告了一项关于期刊编辑在COI披露方面的做法的调查结果。1997年,1396份排名靠前的科学和生物医学期刊中约有16%实行了COI政策。在有COI政策的期刊上发表的文章中,不到1%的文章披露了作者的个人经济利益,而近66%的期刊没有披露作者的个人经济利益。接受调查的期刊编辑中,近四分之三的人通常会发表作者披露声明,这表明,个人财务披露率低,要么是因为作者对其出版物主题的经济利益比例低,要么是因为作者对期刊COI政策的遵守程度低。
This study examines the extent to which scientific and biomedical journals have adopted conflict of interest (COI) policies for authors, and whether the adoption and content of such policies leads to the publishing of authors' financial interest disclosure statements by such journals. In particular, it reports the results of a survey of journal editors about their practices regarding COI disclosures. About 16 percent of 1396 highly ranked scientific and biomedical journals had COI policies in effect during 1997. Less than 1 percent of the articles published during that year in the journals with COI policies contained any disclosures of author personal financial interests while nearly 66 percent of the journals had zero disclosures of author personal financial interests. Nearly three fourths of journal editors surveyed usually publish author disclosure statements suggesting that low rates of personal financial disclosures are either a result of low rates of author financial interest in the subject matter of their publications or poor compliance by authors to the journals' COI policies.
