Indeed, it is important for readers to know their involvement. However, from time to time some company executives argue that their involvement might be construed as biasing the trial and therefore that they should be excluded. This attitude should be resisted as detrimental to the professional role and standing of the company staff and, potentially, to the quality of the resultant publication.
