Unearth Extension

This extension fetches conflict-of-interest and industry funding information from biomedical journal articles and places them at the top of abstracts within PubMed.

Currently works for open-access articles from PubMed Central, which covers “several million articles from several thousands of journals.” (We will be adding additional coverage and fixing bugs in coming weeks. Volunteers welcome!) If there are no funding or conflicts disclosures accessible for the abstract within PMC, the extension does not modify the PubMed page, so you might not notice any change.

Try it: After installing the Extension, go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25274181 (copy this URL now)

This was a product of the Hacking iCorruption event at MIT Media Lab, April 2015, sponsored by the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics Institutional Corruption Lab. Support was also provided by James E. Rogers College of Law, University of Arizona. This project won first place in the Hackathon competition.
