Abstract

Our updated policy expands restrictions on authors’ links to industry

In 2013, the editors of several BMJ journals established a policy that they would not publish research funded partly or wholly by the tobacco industry. The launch of our updated tobacco policy strengthens this stance. In addition to excluding research funded by the tobacco industry, our journals will also exclude work where authors have personal financial ties to the tobacco industry. Journals will exclude both research and non-research content with ties to tobacco companies. The policy applies to all BMJ journals, expanding from the smaller group of BMJ journals behind the 2013 policy (The BMJ, Heart, Tobacco Control, Thorax, and BMJ Open).
