The volunteer members of the Board of Directors of The Center For Scientific Integrity (CSI) are deeply knowledgeable about scientific publishing, scientific integrity, and other issues relevant to the missions of Retraction Watch and CSI. They offer CSI management and staff strategic advice, feedback on specific proposals, and guidance on our work. The management and staff, not the Board, are responsible for day-to-day operations of Retraction Watch and our other efforts. We are deeply grateful for their support and counsel. They are:
