科学报当然不妥，要求作者表明身份，是报纸的责任。请看纽时要求意见作者disclose的规则。如果您觉得纽时太liberal了：）WSJ一样会有相应规定。 我是一个普通读者，一秒钟就把院士是孟山都顾问的事实Google出来了。 事实上，我把院士的名字打进Google search box，想看看他是谁，Google马上给我院士名字加孟山都的链接，我不要也难：）科学报也太糟糕了吧。美国和中国的差距实在是太大了，唉。。。 也因此除非是纯医学的技术性文章，我一直不敢在网上转国内的文章，因为我没有资源verify：（ 至于这位院士，不清楚他为何不disclose。 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/14/opinion/op-ed-and-you.html

Op-Ed and You
By TRISH HALL
……
The most important ones have to do with originality and truthfulness. You can’t plagiarize yourself, or someone else, and we won’t run something that has appeared in another publication, either print or digital. We request that you disclose anything that might be seen as a conflict of interest, financial or otherwise: Did you invest in a company that you praise in passing? Did you once work with a public official you mention in flattering or critical terms? Could you or an organization or company you represent benefit from the stance you take in an Op-Ed? We need to know. That doesn’t mean we’ll throw out your article on that basis — in most cases it just means disclosing the relationship to the reader. We also need all of the material that supports the facts in your story. That’s the biggest surprise to some people. Yes, we do fact check. Do we do it perfectly? Of course not. Everyone makes mistakes, and when we do we correct them. But the facts in a piece must be supported and validated. You can have any opinion you would like, but you can’t say that a certain battle began on a certain day if it did not.

这是 Op-Ed editor 关于自己的disclose。
(I’m also a Deputy Editorial Page Editor, but that’s because I report to the Editorial Page Editor, Andy Rosenthal; I don’t actually have anything to do with the editorials. If you’re interested in who writes those, they’re available on the editorial board page.)
