MEDICAL JOURNALS: FIRST RESPONDERS TO AUTHOR COIS

By the mid-1980s, two leading medical journals introduced FCOI disclosures for authors. The New England Journal of Medicine editor-in-chief, Arnold Relman, wrote an editorial in the journals titled “Dealing with Conflict-of-Interest,” which was a path breaker for the medical journal community. Relman explained the reasons behind the new policy:

… in recent years, as the commercial possibilities of the new biomedical discoveries have become increasingly attractive, these connections [between industry and academic medicine] have become more pervasive, complex and problematic. Now, it is not only possible for medical investigators to have their research subsidized by businesses whose products they are studying, or act as paid consultants for them, but they are sometimes also principals in these businesses or hold equity interest in them.2
