IUPAP: Workshop on Scientific Misconduct and the Role of Physics Journals in its Investigation and Prevention

This workshop took place on 13/14 October 2003 at the facilities of the Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London. Approximately 70 participants attended, representing many of the world's physics journals. The objective of the workshop was to work toward agreement on the actions to be taken by journals in uncovering misconduct and on how to handle the papers and individuals involved in misconduct.

Workshop materials may be in Adobe PDF format (PDF) or Microsoft Powerpoint format (PPT). Free viewers are available for both formats.
