Disclosure of authors' conflicts of interest--a follow-up.
N Engl J Med 2000 Jul 13; 343:(2):146-7

Abstract:

The Journal has admitted that 19 Drug Therapy articles published since January 1997 were in violation of its published conflict-of-interest policy and that the authors should have been disqualified. Considering that the authors of these articles were financially involved with relevant companies, the Journal should retract these articles.
