Former Stanford president retracts Nature paper as another gets expression of concern

"The two Nature papers – which have together been cited more than 1,000 times, according to Clarivate’s Web of Science – were among five the university investigation examined on which Tessier-Lavigne was the principal author. The other three have been retracted – two from Science and one from Cell."

Harvard's President was found to have plagiarized in multiple instances across several papers. In one case, a full paragraph.

Harvard's response today?

An independent review found "a few instances of inadequate citation. While the analysis found no violation of Harvard’s standards for research misconduct [...] in this tumultuous and difficult time, we unanimously stand in support of President Gay”

I wonder how'd they treat an undergrad who did the same?

In case you're in the market for a brilliant series of articles on applying the Getting Things Done approach to academia, see these blog posts by Robert Talbert are the place to go. Well worth the read. https://rtalbert.org/gtd/

Today Nick Davis & Paul Musgrave tackle research anxiety in their newsletter on undergrad thesis writing

I thought these quotes were useful reminders for researchers of all ages

When confronting a problem, identify the next most concrete step and take it

This hits a very soft spot. There is no credit for maintaining packages in #openscience.

I maintain 11 #rstats packages, good for close to ~200K downloads. They are used in teaching, analysis, papers, by government agencies, you name it.

Credit, as in citations, hardly any. Pull requests, hardly any, feature requests and not reading the docs (too many).
