JAMA - it's all about the Benjamins!

JAMA says it was misled by researchers : For the second time in two months, the Journal of the American Medical Association says it was misled by researchers who failed to reveal financial ties to drug companies.

The studies' validity — and the prestigious journal's reputation — are at stake, and JAMA is tightening its policies for researchers as a result.

'This is costing us,' said Dr. Catherine DeAngelis, JAMA's editor-in-chief. 'It's costing us really good articles and God knows what it's costing us in ads.'
