Addiction journals and the management of conflicts of interest

Abstract

Stenius, K. (2016). Addiction journals and the management of conflicts of interest.  The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 5 (1), 9-10. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v5i1.233 Scientific journals are crucial for a critical and open exchange of new research findings and as guardians of the quality of science. Today, as policy makers increasingly justify decision-making with references to scientific evidence, and research articles form the basis for evidence for specific measures, journals also have an indirect responsibility for how political decisions will be shaped.
