| Abstract: | Marc J. Straus, barred from receiving federal research grants after admitting that some of the data in a study he headed were fabricated, is the subject of a new controversy. In dispute are a paper by Straus in the Oct 1982 issue of Cancer Treatment Reports, a journal funded by the National Cancer Institute, and the journal's plan to alert its readers to doubts about the validity of the data reported. Questioned by Congressman L.H. Fountain, the journal's editorial board conceded it had failed to ensure that Straus had complied fully with the board's condition that he provide verification of his data by an independent source. |
