Retraction of Fabrication of Highly Uniform Nanoparticles from Recombinant Silk-Elastin-like Protein Polymers for Therapeutic Agent Delivery

Research skills and ethics: the 20-year evolution of a professional development graduate course

“…Most college and university writing centers have excellent materials on plagiarism that can be adopted for classroom use; we use a combination of local resources and those from the Indiana University, Bloomington Writing Tutorial Services [12]. We examine manipulated data, discuss acceptable adjustments to images, the difference between technical and experimental replicates, and address other issues of experimental design [13][14][15][16]. In addition to examples from published papers that provide examples of data manipulation [15,16], examples from the Office of Research Integrity, which publishes case findings, are also highlighted [17].…”

“…There are numerous excellent sources for case studies, and a few are referenced here [5,9,21]. In addition, the course draws on misconduct cases that have been reported in the media, for example [15,[27][28][29]. In one example, several cases relate to ownership of data, materials, and specifically, laboratory notebooks (BJessica Banks,^BThe Sharing of Research Materials^ [9,30]).…”
