Abstract
The encroachment of conflicts of interest on the peer-review process of scientific journals is discussed, with particular reference to a current example. The authors stress the need for transparency of the connections among authors, reviewers, publishers, editors, and sources of funding to prevent erosion of trust in the scientific integrity of such publications.
