In an open letter to the editors of *Nature* journals, over 30 scientists and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPi) called for more robust policies to disclose conflicts of interest among authors and quoted experts. They cited an example from *Nature Biotechnology* where David Schubert's commentary on the safety of genetically modified (GM) foods was published without disclosing his ties to Genentech and Agouron. A subsequent reply by 18 scientists, many of whom had close ties to companies promoting agricultural biotechnology, was also not disclosed. The authors argue that such failures undermine transparency and deprive readers of crucial information in debates over GM foods. They emphasize the importance of disclosing financial interests in scientific publications to maintain the integrity of research and policy discussions. *Nature* journals are considering expanding their disclosure policy to include correspondence.In an open letter to the editors of *Nature* journals, over 30 scientists and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPi) called for more robust policies to disclose conflicts of interest among authors and quoted experts.
