“…In social work we have recently observed protest regarding NASW's involvement with the pharmaceutical industry (Cohen et al, 2006). In contrast, in psychology, the president of APA (Philip Zimbardo) created a task force on external funding to review APA policies, procedures, and practices regarding the acceptance of funding and material support from private corporations and other organizations for educational and training programs; continuing education offerings; research projects; publications; advertising; scientific and professional meetings, and conferences; and consulting, practice, and advocacy relationships; and recommend such changes and policies as are deemed necessary to enhance and protect the integrity and ethical standards of psychology (Pachter, Fox, Zimbardo, & Antonuccio, 2007).…”

Objective: According to a prior study, there are substantial lapses in journal coverage in the Social Work Abstracts (SWA) database. The current study provides a replication and extension. Method: The longitudinal pattern of coverage of thirty-three journals categorized in SWA as core journals (published in the 1989-1996 period) is examined. Results: The proportion of issues missing from SWA is significantly greater than 0, increase over time, and is significantly biased in favor of NASW journals. Conclusion: The errors in SWA reported here, combined with those previously reported, will exert a long-term negative impact on scholarship unless their existence becomes known to all SWA users and they take steps to compensate for the situation.

“…Students were similarly positive about the explicit RCR knowledge communicated to them through mentoring and the implicit endorsement of RCR values conveyed though mentor behaviors. Responses on measures of RCR departmental climate, mentoring, and preparedness converged to highlight how to recognize and avoid conflicts of interest in research as an area that needs increased attention in psychology graduate programs (Pachter, Fox, Zimbardo & Antonuccio, 2007). Of some concern is that one out of every 10 students had subscale scores suggesting that some departments are too lax in their support for and monitoring of student and faculty ethics related research endeavors.…”

“…First, it appears from the responses of our national sample that students with relatively high interest in research are crying out for more direct supervision in how to responsibly conduct their own research and what is expected of them as research assistants. Second, as psychological science becomes increasingly attractive to corporate funders, graduate students, and perhaps departmental faculty as well, will need specific guidance in how to recognize and avoid research conflicts of interest (Fisher, 2009; Pachter et al, 2007). Third, our findings empirically support what is perhaps intuitive about RCR principles; that is, research ethics values of the discipline of psychology are not transmitted to students simply by taking a course in ethics or having experience submitting IRB proposals, but require explicit direction from mentors and clear departmental policies that provide students with the resources to feel prepared to independently conduct research responsibly.…”

Graduate Socialization in the Responsible Conduct of Research: A National Survey on the Research Ethics Training Experiences of Psychology Doctoral Students

2009

Little is known about the mechanisms by which psychology graduate programs transmit responsible conduct of research (RCR) values. A national sample of 968 current students and recent graduates of mission-diverse doctoral psychology programs, completed a web-based survey on their research ethics challenges, perceptions of RCR mentoring and department climate, their ability to conduct research responsibility, and whether they believed psychology as a discipline promotes scientific integrity. Research experience, mentor RCR instruction and modeling, and department RCR policies predicted student RCR preparedness. Mentor RCR instruction, department RCR policies, and faculty modeling of RCR behaviors predicted confidence in the RCR integrity of the discipline. Implications for training are discussed.

“…One story concerned a senior researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) who accepted unauthorized fees from 25 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in addition to government sponsored research in-volving drugs. A second example was that of a senior scientist, a head of the geriatric psychiatry at the NIH, who admitted that he failed to disclose $285,000 in fees from a pharmaceutical company 4 .…”

Conflicting interests in biomedical research and medical practice

A conflict of interest exists when decisions made by a person or institution are affected by direct financial interests or by non-financial issues, such as personal relationships, business associations, and membership in political, national or other groups. These circumstances favor secondary interests over primary interests in medicine and can influence contributions to science and health. Regardless of individual life experiences and personal background, physicians and other health professionals should strive to remain conflict-free. This paper illustrates conflicts of interests in biomedical research and medical practice caused by financial and nonfinancial influences. It also assesses how medical journals, professional organizations, healthcare, and government examine these issues. Presented examples of potential conflicting interests are related to healthcare industry, psychiatry and psychology (e.g., 'enhanced interrogation techniques'), sports medicine, and in the publication process of biomedical journals (authors, editors and peer reviewers). In order to avoid potential conflicting interests, today majority of medical journals request from the authors to disclose any such interests in a written statement on a form prepared by the ICMJE on the journal. This disclosure includes payments for consulting, speaking, honoraria, research support, personal relationships, and institutional conflicts of intersts that may influence the work presented in the submitted manuscript. The editor will decide on potentially relevant conflicting interest in the disclosure and publish it.
