Peer Reviewers Pocket Millions in Industry Payments

More than half of the US peer reviewers for four major medical journals received industry payments between 2020 and 2022, new research shows. Altogether they received more than $64 million in general, non-research payments, with a median payment per physician of $7614. Research payments — including money paid directly to physicians as well as funds related to research for which a physician was registered as a principal investigator — exceeded $1 billion.
