Conflict of interest in university-industry research relationships: realities, politics, and values.
Acad Med 1996 Dec; 71:(12):1287-90

Keywords:

Notes: The first of the three articles is by a leading researcher, reporting data from the most inclusive study of the academic-industry interface; the second by a political scientist and expert on science policy from the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and the third by a moral philosopher known for his work on professional ethics. How we deal with conflicts of interest in university-industry research relationships will affect the internal conduct and the public reputation of science and of research universities, as it will help to shape the forthcoming generation of scientists.
