From a Guardian blog, more details on the medical ghostwriting business. Drug companies use "publication planning agencies" to control what's written about their products, Elliot Ross writes. The agencies "target the most influential academics to act as authors, draft the articles, and ensure that these include clearly-defined branding messages and appear in the most prestigious journals." A medical ethicist calls it "an epistemological morass where you can't trust anything."
