In his letter "the antidote to bias in research" (23 October 2009, p. 522), D. B. Allison argues against the need to disclose sources of funding when publishing scientific research.

Brown (1) reports, when a published study "is funded by one of the pharmaceutical companies, the sponsor's drug invariably does better."
