A conference on restoring independent regulatory science
Special session:
“A Common Standard for Journals' Conflict of Interest Disclosure”
Conflict of interest reporting in the scientific and medical literature has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. Failures to disclose conflicts of interest have become front page news, and a major embarrassment to publishers, editors, and professional societies. At this special afternoon session of the Center for Science in the Public Interest’s “Rejuvenating Public Sector Science” conference, panelists will discuss a Model Conflict of Interest Disclosure Policy for use by scientific and medical journals. This model policy was developed over the past year by a group of editors and bioethicists as one possible approach to reducing the incidence of these recurring scandals. Sheldon Krimsky, Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy at Tufts University, will present the problem; Merrill Goozner, Director, Integrity in Science, Center for Science in the Public Interest, and Thomas Babor, Associate Editor-in-Chief, Addiction, will discuss the proposal; and Hugh A. Tilson, Editor-in-Chief, Environmental Health Perspectives, and Jeremy Theobald of the UK’s Committee on Publication Ethics will respond to the proposal. Please join us!

CrossRef considers it very important the PMC uses DOIs as the main means to link to the publisher version of record for an article and we are recommending that publishers try to convince PMC to use DOIs in an automated way. Almost all of the PMC articles contain DOIs but they aren't linked. This seems like a waste considering that publishers have invested a lot in CrossRef and DOIs as unique identifiers and persistent links.

This issue will be of interest to anyone who publishers journal articles that are the result of NIH funding and fall under the NIH Public Access Policy .
