After the first author admitted to fraud, his colleagues have retracted a 2013 paper in the Journal of Neuroscience, as well as a 2015 book chapter about working memory. The retractions come as part of a backstory of pulled papers authored by psychologist Edward Awh and his former graduate student David Anderson when he was based at the University … Continue reading Two more retractions bring total to 9 for neuroscience duo
Authors have retracted two papers about visual perception and working memory from the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, after the first author admitted to falsifying or fabricating data in four other papers. The authors have requested another two retractions, as well, which will bring the total for Edward Awh and his former graduate student David Anderson to nine retractions. (Earlier … Continue reading More retractions bring total to 7 for neuroscience pair, 2 more pending
The last of four papers containing data falsified by University of Oregon neuroscience student David Anderson has been retracted. When the Office of Research Integrity report flagging the papers came out in July, Anderson told us he “made an error in judgment,” and took “full responsibility” for the misconduct. The newly retracted paper, “A common discrete resource for visual working memory and visual search,” … Continue reading 4th ORI-flagged paper by Oregon student is retracted
Journals have retracted three out of the four papers flagged by the Office of Research Integrity during its investigation of a University of Oregon neuroscience student, David Anderson. Last month, when we first reported on the case, Anderson told us that he “made an error in judgment,” and took “full responsibility.” Two of the retraction notes say that Anderson … Continue reading Three retractions for Oregon neuroscience student investigated by ORI
A graduate student at the University of Oregon in Eugene has admitted to faking data that appeared in four published papers in the field of visual working memory, according to the Office of Research Integrity. David Anderson’s supervisor at the time was Edward Awh, who has since moved to the University of Chicago. Anderson told Retraction Watch … Continue reading Oregon grad student admits to faking data in four neuroscience papers
A team of neuroscientists at University of Oregon and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have retracted a paper from The Journal of Neuroscience after realizing their analytic code contained an error. The authors state in the notice that their conclusion remains accurate after correcting the mistake in the program Matlab. However, the paper — … Continue reading Matlab mixup sinks Journal of Neuroscience paper
