Conflicts of interest exist in dermatology when professional judgement concerning a primary interest, such as research validity, may be influenced by a secondary interest, such as financial gain from a for-profit organization. Conflict of interest is a condition and not a behaviour, although there is clear evidence that gifts influence behaviour. Little has been written about conflicts of interest in dermatology. This series of papers raises awareness of the subject by exploring it in greater depth from the perspective of a dermatology researcher, an industry researcher, a dermatology journal editor, a health services researcher and a patient representative. Collectively, they illustrate the many ways in which conflicts can pervade the world of dermatology publications and patient support group activities.
当涉及主要利益（如研究效度）的专业判断可能受到次要利益（如来自营利性组织的经济收益）影响时，皮肤科领域就存在利益冲突。利益冲突是一种状况而非行为，尽管有明确证据表明礼物会影响行为。关于皮肤科领域的利益冲突，相关著述甚少。本系列论文从皮肤科研究人员、行业研究人员、皮肤科期刊编辑、卫生服务研究人员以及患者代表的视角进行更深入探讨，以提高对该主题的认识。总体而言，它们阐明了利益冲突可能渗透到皮肤科出版物及患者支持团体活动中的多种方式。
