Conflict of interest and the credibility of medical journals
Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics 2003; 12:1

Abstract:

The issue of conflict of interest is getting more and
more important for medical journals (Alpert, 2002;
Anonymous, 2002; van Kolfschooten, 2002). It undermines
the credibility of papers which are submitted, their
review process, and even the editorial decisions about
acceptance or rejection.
