Conflicts of Interest Publication Disclosures: Descriptive Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple lines of prior research have documented that author conflicts of interest (COI) can compromise the integrity of the biomedical research enterprise. However, continuing research that would investigate why, how, and in what circumstances COI is most risky is stymied by the difficulty in accessing disclosure statements, which are not widely represented in available databases.

Objective

In this study, we describe a new open access dataset of COI disclosures extracted from published biomedical journals articles.

Methods

To develop the dataset, we used ClinCalc's Top 300 drugs lists for 2017 and 2018 to identify 319 of the most commonly used drugs. Search strategies for each product were developed using the National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject
