"I wrote a portion of the article, but not all of it, although only my name was listed as its author. Other parts of that article were written with the assistance of DesignWrite, a firm which, it turns out, was employed by a pharmaceutical manufacturer to assist in the development of academic articles. I made an error in agreeing to have my name attached to that article without having it made clear that others contributed to it."Prof Barbara Sherwin comes clean
