诉讼迫使三个主要的烟草业资助的组织解散，因为他们在传播科学错误信息方面发挥了令人震惊的作用。然而，在2017年，一个新的科学组织-无烟世界基金会（FSFW）成立，完全由烟草公司菲利普莫里斯国际（PMI）资助。专家们担心FSFW同样有利于其资助者的科学和政治议程。我们提出了FSFW的出版实践的三个案例研究，探讨：是否FSFW及其附属机构在他们的尝试，以科学的完整性，以发表研究;如何利益冲突（COI）的期刊FSFW的目标管理;是否科学出版需要更好地保护烟草业鉴于这一点，如果是这样，如何。FSFW和它的受资助者在发表他们的科学时一再采取模糊不清的做法。FSFW的工作人员未能透明地采取行动，可以说他们试图控制编辑过程（有时是由公关公司Ruder Finn提供便利）。FSFW资助的组织（包括其意大利的“研究中心”）和与FSFW有关联的研究人员（包括那些担任编辑和同行评审员的人）没有透露他们与FSFW和PMI的联系。虽然期刊也未能应用其COI政策，包括烟草行业资助的研究，但研究结果强调，这些政策几乎完全依赖于研究人员完全申报所有潜在的COI。本文探讨了解决这些问题的方法，包括通过标准化的COI报告和期刊资助;禁止出版烟草行业资助的科学的期刊政策;开发以作者为中心的财务利益数据库;以及法律规定的烟草行业财政捐款，以资助新烟草和尼古丁产品的科学。
Litigation forced the dissolution of three major tobacco industry-funded organisations because of their egregious role in spreading scientific misinformation. Yet in 2017, a new scientific organisation—the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW)—was launched, funded entirely by tobacco corporation Philip Morris International (PMI). Experts fear FSFW similarly serves to benefit its funder’s scientific and political agenda. We present three case studies of FSFW’s publishing practices to explore: whether FSFW and its affiliates are acting with scientific integrity in their attempts to publish research; how conflicts of interest (COI) are governed in the journals FSFW targets; whether scientific publishing needs to be better protected from the tobacco industry in light of this, and if so, how. FSFW and its grantees have resorted to repeated obfuscation when publishing their science. FSFW staff have failed to act transparently and arguably have sought control over editorial processes (at times facilitated by PR firm, Ruder Finn). FSFW-funded organisations (including its Italian ‘Centre of Excellence’) and researchers affiliated with FSFW (including those working as editors and peer-reviewers) have failed to disclose their links to FSFW and PMI. While journals also failed to apply their COI policies, including on tobacco industry-funded research, the findings highlight that such policies are almost entirely dependent on researchers fully declaring all potential COIs. The paper explores ways to address these problems, including via standardised reporting of COI and funding in journals; journal policies prohibiting publication of tobacco industry-funded science; development of an author-centric database of financial interests; and legally mandated tobacco industry financial contributions to fund science on new tobacco and nicotine products.
