Sample Paper Excerpt
Corruccini and Townsend (2003) note, 'Enamel hypoplasia is thought to represent calcification disruption indicative of metabolic stress during development.'

A dental researcher at an academic institution becomes involved in a collaborative relationship with a private pharmaceutical firm that provides funding to develop treatments to prevent enamel hypoplasia. Both parties are recognized to be instrumental in developing the technologies to overcome significant barriers.

While describing the justification for the study in the manuscript, the dental researcher cites an unpublished report describing:

..."an innovative methodology leading to a 30% reduction in the number of reported cases of enamel hypoplasia."

The report remains the intellectual property of a private company that funded the study.
 
What issue is raised that could compromise research integrity?
