Abstract
Two comments seem in order with respect to the revised “Uniform Requirements” document (Sept. 13 issue).1 First, no mention is made of the more than 100 for-profit medical communication companies.2 In addition to ghostwriting entire medical research articles,3,4 these third parties — funded wholly by drug and device manufacturers — form partnerships with investigators supported by industry sponsors to ensure that manuscripts submitted for publication have the proper spin.Keywords
