Publication practices and standards: recommendations from GSK Vaccines’ author survey

摘要

BackgroundEvolving standards of good publication practice (GPP) and a survey conducted in 2009 of authors, who were investigators and researchers not employed by the company prompted changes to GSK Vaccines’ publication practices. We conducted a follow-up survey in 2012 to assess the company’s revised practices and to evaluate understanding of GPP among investigators and researchers who had previously authored at least one publication in collaboration with GSK Vaccines.
