MPIP research has prompted the development of several publications, including Recommendations to Improve Adverse Event Reporting, a guide to clinically relevant and more informative adverse event reporting, published in The BMJ; Five-Step Authorship Framework, a useful tool to help facilitate more transparent decision making for clinical trial manuscripts, published in BMC Medicine; Ten Recommendations, a whitepaper outlining recommendations to close the credibility gap in reporting the results of industry-sponsored clinical research, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings; Enhancing Transparency and Efficiency, a summary of the 2009 MPIP inaugural journal–pharma workshop exploring possible solutions to handling increased medical research manuscript volume; and the Authors’ Submission Toolkit, an authors’ guide to submission “best practices” published in Current Medical Research Opinion.

We emailed a survey to experienced medical editors to evaluate the degree of change observed in transparency and credibility of industry-sponsored clinical trial publications over a 5-year period beginning in 2010 and ending in 2015. We report the assessment of 293 editor responses on the impact of best practices on transparency plus the importance of MPIP’s “Ten Recommendations” (2012) on publication credibility and perceived degree of adoption of these recommendations.
