Kurzfassung

This project builds on the observation that an increasing regulation of conflicts of interest (COI) may have unintended and possibly negative consequences for the independence of research and the scientific progress. This project will focus on the field of medicine where conflict of interest policies have been widely implemented internationally (mainly in the US) and in Germany, too. The project will study the responses by researchers and scientific communities to the tight regulation of COI...This project builds on the observation that an increasing regulation of conflicts of interest (COI) may have unintended and possibly negative consequences for the independence of research and the scientific progress.

The project will study the responses by researchers and scientific communities to the tight regulation of COI and ask about the legitimization of hazardous behavior by COI declarations, avoidance of industry collaboration, a changed reception of scientific findings with and without COI declarations, and other possible effects of the tight regulation.» weiterlesen» einklappen
