Phantom authors publish real research paper
- iandanforth 13y agoThis is worrying as it might have the effect of less sharing in the scientific community. The closest analogy I can think of is a musician given a preview concert that demos some of their upcoming work and then finding a full single available on iTunes recorded by someone else. Even if the complete song is quite good, it would at least feel like theft. I'd be interested in what people think the proper reaction to this should be (other than the knee-jerk draconian measures toward the perps). How should the scientific community and publishers react to keep this author sharing early results freely?
