Abstract:
We are a group of researchers and academics with decades of experience
in the protection and promotion of public health. We are writing to raise our
concerns about how conflicts of interest are reported in public health
nutrition research. We highlight examples of why it is important to
accurately declare such conflicts, as well as providing examples of
situations in which conflicts of interest have been inadequately reported.
We call on researchers, and others, to be transparent about conflicts of
interest in research. Journal editors in particular have an important
responsibility in fully understanding how conflicts of interest can impact on
research findings and interpretations. They need to agree and adopt clear
guidelines on conflicts of interest and ensure that authors abide by these to
facilitate trust in the scientific process and the credibility of published
articles.
