Baltimore Case - In Brief
What is this about?
Three months after a widely-leaked draft report by the Office of Scientific Integrity (OSI) accused an immunologist of fabricating data in a 1986 Cell article, the controversy has become more intense. A series of published statements in Nature has catalyzed a bitter debate within the biomedical community. This is a factual case.
Why is this important?
When an article is published, all authors are responsible for what is written in the paper. If the paper contains fabricated data, all the authors are deemed to be responsible.
