I think this is going overboard. Even during the peak of the Cold War, I don't think that reviews by Soviet scientists was banned. Whatever the political differences may be, I think that the process of science should not be blocked unless there are issues of scientific misconduct.
- deelowe 7y ago> issues of scientific misconduct Isn't this the implication?
- cyphar 7y agoNo, it's because of the US sanctions against Huawei which are unrelated to any scientific misconduct (instead they are because of accusations of other kinds of misconduct). It's still incredibly hypocritical that the US is making this argument given that we all know what the NSA does.
- SN76477 7y agoI agree, it is going too far. It feels like a good time for a world wide tech alliance that puts some working professional standards in place.
- sigmar 7y ago>Specifically, IEEE says they “cannot receive or access materials submitted by other persons until after IEE has accepted the material for publication.” At that point, Huawei scientists “may act as editor or peer reviewer for that material.” Huawei employees can peer review, just only after it is selected for publication. Considering the "severe legal implications" mentioned, perhaps there is a NDA agreement that IEEE's lawyers determined would run afoul of the sanctions?
