Abstract
In some of the most august journals of research, the topic has aroused accusations, denials, sharp exchanges, and mea culpas, with the din overflowing into the popular press. It’s contended that scientific conflict of interest — let’s call it CoI — endangers the public and undermines support of research. In a new twist, CoI has also drawn praise as a healthy manifestation of the profit motive and a valuable force for speeding the benefits of science to society.
