Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest (COI) is used by biomedical journals to guarantee credibility and transparency of the scientific process. COI disclosure, however, is neither systematically nor consistently dealt with by journals. Recent joint editorial efforts paved the way towards the implementation of uniform vehicles for COI disclosure. This article provides a comprehensive editorial perspective on classical COI-related issues. New insights into current COI policies and practices among European Society of Cardiology national cardiovascular journals, as derived from a cross-sectional survey using a standardized questionnaire, are discussed.
披露潜在利益冲突 (COI) 是生物医学期刊用来保证科学过程的可信度和透明度的手段。然而，期刊并没有系统和一致地处理 COI 披露的问题。最近的联合社论努力为实施统一的 COI 披露工具铺平了道路。本文从社论的角度全面探讨了与 COI 相关的经典问题。通过使用标准化问卷进行横断面调查，讨论了欧洲心脏病学会 (ESC) 国家心血管期刊现行 COI 政策和实践方面的新见解。
