Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to urge English scientific journals published in China to attach high importance to the proper management of conflict of interests (COI), and provide reference data and measures for journal authorities to enhance the ethical norms of scientific journals. [Methods] Through the investigation of 201 English scientific journals from the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) Source Journal Checklist (2017—2018), the regulations regarding handing COI were announced on the research papers and review papers, statements of publication ethics in journal's homepage, and guide for authors. The COI management system and disclosure situation of the journals were investigated. [Findings] A total of 61 (30.35%) journals have complete COI management regulations in the publish ethical statements of journal's homepage and/or guide for authors, and include the COI disclosure instruction module in the research papers and review papers; 121 (60.2%) journals have only (or part of) COI management regulations in the publish ethical statements of journal's homepage and/or guide for authors, but lack relevant content in the published articles; 19(9.45%)journals have not made any statements or requirements for COI management and disclosure. [Conclusions] The scientific journals published in China, especially the ones in English, should respond first in optimizing the management and disclosure of COI and increasing transparency of the handling procedures. The journal management authorities should strengthen the requirements for the disclosure of COI in journals and supervise their implementation.
