The journals are in this business for science-they analyze the science. They don’t have rooms full of accountants to check whether disclosures are appropriate or complete … I guess if I had any advice for reporters, I would say, ask your local university if they’ve set up any associated [non-profit organizations]; many universities have an associated charity or foundation through which they solicit donations from corporate sponsors to support medical research. Find out about who those corporate sponsors are. Unfortunately, many universities set up these associated charities and foundations in such a way that they don’t have to disclose much publicly-ask about that, you know, try to push.
