SPS commentary:
Many individuals and groups around the world are moving towards independence from commercial interests in research, education, practice and policy. The BMJ collection on commercial influence charts and encourages that move. It contains original research and analysis about the impacts of financial conflicts of interest across research, education, practice and policy, and about the global moves to freedom from commercial influence.
