  2. Conflict of Interest • Any interest that would make reader feel misled or deceived if not disclosed • Authors, reviewers, editors, publishers, journal owners may all have COI • Also called “dual interests”, “dual loyalties” Ingrid Nygaard, AJOG, 2016.

  3. WAME (World Association of Medical Editors) "COI exists when there is a divergence between an individual’s private interests (competing interests) and his or her responsibilities to scientific and publishing activities such that a reasonable observer might wonder if the individual’s behavior or judgment was motivated by considerations of his or her competing interests.“ http://www.wame.org/about/conflict-of-interest-in-peer-reviewed-medical

  4. ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) “The potential for conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether an individual believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment.“ http://www.icmje.org/

  5. Office of Research Integrity • Interest: a commitment, goal, or value held by individual/ institution • COI exists when 2 or more contradictory interests relate to an activity by an individual/institution. • The conflict lies in the situation, not in any behavior or lack of behavior of the individual…a COI is not intrinsically a bad thing. Ingrid Nygaard, AJOG, 2016.
