More than mandatory release, we need to:

1) Have full transparency of the placebos being used. Many studies that are published don't fully disclose the placebo being used. Full release should really mean full release.

2) Movement way from the for-profit journal system to a not-for-profit system, to prevent obvious conflicts of interest. Full release means nothing if the means in which information travels is biased.

3) Reining in the benefits pharmaceutical companies can give researchers and doctors. A number of studies have shown even the smallest of gifts can change a doctor's propensity to prescribe a specific drug. Surprisingly this can be as powerful as a journal article.

4) Passing real legislation to reduce the revolving door between the FDA and the rest of the medical industry to prevent a number of other problems.
