Question

Since an ever-increasing amount of research is funded by commercial companies, what is your opinion on a requirement for authors of scientific studies who receive income from these companies to disclose funding sources in their scientific publications?

Answer 1

As in case of the public journals, there should be a policy requirement for authors of scientific studies receiving income from these companies to disclose funding sources in their scientific publications as this will lead to an encouragement of the company and a future investment as well do to the generation of the brand image and goodwill in society.
