I'm curious about the mechanical details here. How can a tenured professor at UCLA not be aware that they contributed (not author?!) to a paper cited 3000 times

- huitzitziltzin 3y agoSo... the mechanical details are that the authors of the paper w/ fake data said that Rossi did the study for them when asked about it. She wasn't an author, so she had no reason to be involved w/ (for example) the referee process. She was made aware that this was their claim when someone contacted her. She also works in a slightly different literature IMO. Even if she had read the article, it probably didn't say "the data gathering was done by Prof. Rossi at UCLA"
- akkartik 3y agoThanks!
- lern_too_spel 3y agoShe's not in the authors list, and a misspelling of her name was thanked in the paper.
