Even among highly educated health professionals, there is inconsistency in the knowledge and perception concerning both conflict of interest (COI) itself and COI disclosure. The key issue is the credibility of the manuscript, which relies heavily on transparency of COI for the reader. The tendency to disregard the importance of COI disclosure among journal editors has been recently highlighted. For all types of COI, the primary question is how it is managed. To ensure the enforcement of the declared journal COI policies, it is crucial that not only authors, but also those who are involved in the assessment of manuscripts, be educated and informed of the updated guidelines concerning COI disclosure.
即使在受过高等教育的卫生专业人员中,对于利益冲突(COI)本身以及利益冲突披露的知识和认知也存在不一致。关键问题在于稿件的可信度,而这在很大程度上依赖于利益冲突对读者的透明度。最近,期刊编辑忽视利益冲突披露重要性的倾向已受到关注。对于所有类型的利益冲突,首要问题是如何进行管理。为确保已声明的期刊利益冲突政策得到执行,不仅作者,而且参与稿件评估的人员都接受关于利益冲突披露的最新指南的教育并了解这些指南,这至关重要。
