Abstract

In the fall of 2010, Dr. Ferric C. Fang made an unsettling discovery. Dr. Fang, who is editor in chief of the journal Infection and Immunity, found that one of his authors had doctored several papers. It was a new experience for him. ''Prior to that time,'' he said in an interview, ''Infection and Immunity had only retracted nine articles over a 40-year period.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
