Abstract

This chapter discusses financial conflicts of interest in academic research. After exploring the definition of conflicts of interest, the chapter focuses on the manner in which conflicts are addressed by policies promulgated by the U.S. federal government, research institutions and scholarly journals. It concludes with suggestions for further research and policy analysis.
