My Facebook friend, Senator Charles Grassley (R, IA), has asked eight leading medical journals to describe their policies and practices regarding ghostwriting.
Grassley said his inquiry is part of his broader effort to establish transparency with regard to financial relationships between the pharmaceutical industry and medical professionals.
The text of the letter (sent to the American Journal of Medicine, the Annals of Internal Medicine, the Annual Review of Medicine, the Archives of Internal Medicine, Nature Medicine, PLoS Medicine, The Journal of the American Medical Association, and The New England Journal of Medicine) can be found here.
But inquiring minds want to know … who drafted the letter onto which Senator Grassley affixed his signature?
