Abstract
En 中文
• Majority of medical journals had procedures in place to identify editors’ financial and non-financial interests, and about half did not allow them. • Only half of journals instructed peer reviewers on what to do if they had conflicts of interest; fewer required disclosures in review reports, and verification was often not used by journals. • Procedures for identifying and managing undisclosed interests were often lacking, or respondents were unfamiliar with practices. • Journal practices were often discordant with the journal policy.
