“…On December 23, 2009, JACS retracted the article “for scientific reasons” (Wang et al, 2011). On June 19, 2013, an article on the synthesis of nanorods with tunable angles between them was published in the ACS journal Nano Letters (Anumolu et al, 2013 ). On August 13, 2013, Mitch Andre Garcia, then a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, wrote a post on his blog pointing out some serious issues with the images in the article, most prominently the fact that the immediate background surrounding the nanorod images seemed to be very different from the general background of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique used to obtain the images (Mitch, 2013 ).…”

Accountability in Research

Over the last two decades, various themes inherent in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) in chemistry have been brought to light through prominent cases of research misconduct. This article will describe a few of these cases especially through the lens of social media such as blogs and Twitter. A case will be made that these wholly novel modalities of online discussion are now complementing, and in some cases even circumventing some of the limitations of traditional peer review in chemistry. We present in detail our evaluation of three recent cases of RCR along with several other social media illustrations. These cases have been selected to be representative and showcase several of the most prominent issues at the intersection of traditional and social-media based peer review. In each case, basic details are presented along with a brief discussion of the underlying issues—readers interested in deeper analysis of each subject are referred to a collection of relevant articles and websites. This perspective focuses on the most important RCR issues that have arisen in the past decade, a time which we believe coincides with the serious participation of the scientific community in general, and the chemistry community in particular, in social media-based, citizen-enabled peer-review. A discussion of important trends in RCR in the age of social media, outstanding developments in this area, and questions of enduring interest for the near future concludes the article.

“…These observations pointed to the possibility of the images being photoshopped and overlaid on top of the background. On August 14, 2013, only two days after Garcia’s post appeared, the journal withdrew the article, citing “concerns over the integrity of the data” (Anumolu et al, 2013 ).…”
