We have coded the desired results and the consequences of these strategies. (TL did the initial code and AG coded 20% of papers). We found that corporations use five macro-level strategies which work in tandem to reduce the perceived credibility of unfavourable science and maximize favourable science. These strategies are enacted by http://scorbe.de/generated-post-2/ meso strategies that can, over time, alter the evidence base to the favor of industry. This has three effects to discredit the harms that could be caused by industry products and practices; to promote policy responses that favor industry; and to maximise the consumption, sales, and use of products from industry.
