ABSTRACT
Even though this paper is about an international scandal and it is behind a paywall (which we don’t generally include in our resource library), we decided to include it because it is such an egregious case of an undisclosed conflict of interest and of a company trying to use academic publishing to further its commercial interest. We believe this is an instance of the name and reputation of academic researchers being used to launder the interests of a corporate entity. The issues in play here are of direct interest to anyone connected to academic publishing and of interest to anyone who gardens. We suggest it is a useful reference for institutional resource material about undisclosed commercial conflicts of interest in academic publishing.
