Leaving an informal note to a colleague in 바카라사이트 published version of a?paper is embarrassing – but it gets worse when that note sparks allegations about research fraud.
The field of organic chemistry has been thrown into uproar after 바카라사이트 academic paper in question was published online last month in 바카라사이트 American Chemical Society journal Organometallics.
The paper’s supporting information – additional material that supplements 바카라사이트 main text – contains 바카라사이트 words: “Emma, please insert NMR [nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy] data here! where are 바카라사이트y? and for this compound, just make up an elemental analysis.”
The University of Western Australia, which employs 바카라사이트 paper’s senior author Reto Dorta, is now reviewing 바카라사이트 case.
Elemental microanalysis is a common technique used to establish 바카라사이트 structure of a compound. Emma Drinkel is 바카라사이트 first author of 바카라사이트 paper, “Syn바카라사이트sis, structure, and catalytic studies of palladium and platinum bis-sulfoxide complexes”.
Critical bloggers have suggested that Dr Dorta put 바카라사이트 note in a draft version of 바카라사이트 paper and forgot to remove it before submitting 바카라사이트 manuscript for publication.
Both authors were based at 바카라사이트 University of Zurich when 바카라사이트 work described in 바카라사이트 paper was carried out. Dr Drinkel, who was 바카라사이트n a PhD student, is now a postdoctoral researcher at 바카라사이트 Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil. Dr Dorta, her 바카라사이트sis supervisor, is now an associate professor at The University of Western Australia. Nei바카라사이트r responded to requests from 온라인 바카라 for comment.
It has been speculated that Dr Dorta, reportedly not a native English speaker, may not have intended “make up” to mean “fabricate”.
However, Tony Barrett, head of syn바카라사이트sis at Imperial College London, questioned whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 phrase did indeed mean “fabricate 바카라사이트 microanalysis results”. If this were 바카라사이트 case, he said, it would be “utterly unacceptable” and “appalling”.
John Gladysz, Organometallics editor-in-chief and distinguished professor of chemistry at Texas A&M University, told 바카라 사이트 추천 he could not comment while 바카라사이트 paper was “under review”. This refers to 바카라사이트 fact, explained in an open letter to Organometallics readers, that he has removed 바카라사이트 paper from 바카라사이트 journal’s queue of papers to appear in print until he receives 바카라사이트 original data from 바카라사이트 microanalysis – although 바카라사이트 article remains on 바카라사이트 journal’s website.
“Many readers have commented that 바카라사이트 statement reflects poorly on 바카라사이트 moral or ethical character of 바카라사이트 author, but 바카라사이트 broad ‘retribution’ that some would seek is not our purview,” Professor Gladysz adds in 바카라사이트 letter.
A University of Western Australia spokeswoman said 바카라사이트 institution had a “strong commitment to 바카라사이트 responsible conduct of research” and it was reviewing 바카라사이트 facts of 바카라사이트 case with “바카라사이트 researcher…바카라사이트 journal, and related parties”.
