Financial disclosure 

The disclosure of commercial relationships is expected. Bias in research, presentation and publication can arise from various forms of self-interest. The desire for professional recognition is inherent in academic activity, often with the indirect fringe benefits of increased stature and authority, academic appointment or promotion, more patient referrals, higher income, more travel, or other perquisites. These potential rewards for academic success can be a strong sources of bias. More tangible financial benefits can also accrue to the First Author or Co-author in some cases. Financial interests do not restrict presentation or publication, but the audience is entitled to know that such interests exist. Therefore, presenters at the WOC2010 meeting (including poster sessions) and other educational activities are required to provide disclosure of financial interests.
