and sometimes these will result in publications with the permission of the company. As for preclinical research, outside scientists do carry out research for drug companies and often receive payments for that. Again these may result in publications. It may even happen that paper includes data from the company's own research, but those usually have coauthors from the company and should be seen as collaborations rather than bribe. I did see situations where scientists or clinicians presents company's data in sponsored meetings, but those usually are clearly clarified.
