Abstract Journal editors are gatekeepers of knowledge, and pharmaceutical industry payments to oncology have not been previously characterized. We performed a cross-sectional study nonresearch 26 research journals. A total 433 were eligible for inclusion in the CMS Open Payments database from 2013 2018. 80% had payments, mean value per editor was $106,778, which has increased over time. Only 5 out journals disclosed conflicts interest 3 these reported at least one with no but found payments....
