Protecting peer review: Correspondence chronology and ethical analysis regarding logothetis vs. shmuel and leopold
What is this about?
As the complexity of scientific investigation has advanced, bio‐medical research has progressively adopted a team‐based approach to research. In the life sciences, brain imaging is one of the most technically advanced and integrative disciplines. In this collaborative environment, scientific disagreements as well as inter‐personal conflicts inevitably arise. Investigators may disagree, for example, on the adequacy of the data for publication, the most appropriate analyses to be performed, or the appropriate conclusions to be drawn from the accumulated experiments. In the context of such disagreements, more fundamental disputes often arise, including the right of individual investigators to publish data acquired cooperatively. When efforts are made to publish disputed data, journal editors necessarily become involved.
