MISCONDUCT: INQUIRY AT BELL LABS IS BROADENED. The scope of the investigation into possible data fabrication has expanded to include four papers dealing with superconductivity. As with the dozen or so papers that initiated the inquiry, involving the use of organic molecules in microelectronics, the lead author on the novel superconductivity papers was Jan Hendrik Schon. This is a trip into unfamiliar territory for physicists, who have seen few cases of outright fabrication. However, the Council of the American Physical Society has issued formal statements dealing not only with fabrication and plagiarism, but with far more prevalent forms of misconduct, such as automatic co-authorship of someone who has made no substantive contribution to the work: Integrity in Physics http://www.aps.org/statements/87.1.html Professional Conduct http://www.aps.org/statements/91.8.html ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
