In two recent cases, post-docs have published data without their principal
investigator’s consent. Can this be prevented from happening again?
Jiasheng Diao was a post-doc at the Purdue University, working in the lab of
X-ray crystallographer Miriam Hasson on structure of the protein butyrate
kinase when Hasson passed away in 2006. As a result, the university gave
control of her protein structure data to her husband, Purdue biochemist
David Sanders. Three years later, that protein structure data finally made
its way into a paper in the Journal of Bacteriology that listed Diao and
Hassan as co-authors (1).

Bacteriology without his PI's consent. Source: Journal of Bacteriology
The only problem was that it was published without Sanders’ consent. As a
result, the journal has now retracted the paper at Sanders’ request,
according to the blog Retraction Watch (2). As it turns out, this is the
second retraction in this case; the journal Proteins has retracted another
2009 paper submitted by Diao that used Hasson’s data without permission (3)
. In addition, Diao tried to publish a paper in the Journal of Molecular
Biology, but Sanders caught on and contacted the journal before the paper
was published.
But the situation at Purdue is not unique. For example, former Baylor
College of Medicine post-doc Hui Chai has also published papers in The
Anatomical Record and Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin using data that
was obtained during her time in the lab of Changyi Chen without his
permission (4-5). In the end, those papers were retracted.
Both recent cases involving post-docs who publish data without consent of
the principal investigator highlight a growing trend of insubordination in
the lab. Ferric Fang, editor in chief of the journal Infection and Immunity
and professor of laboratory medicine and microbiology at the University of
Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, has seen his fair share of papers
retracted because of similar authorship disputes.
“The issue of data ownership is complex,” said Fang. “Post-docs may
understandably feel that data they obtained in experiments belong to them.”
But work sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as in the
case of Diao, belongs to the institution where the work was conducted. Diao
didn’t have the right to publish the work without Sanders’ consent, since
the university put him in control of his deceased wife’s data, noted Fang.
In the end, the question is how can these situations be prevented in the
future. For starters, schools could provide better instruction to trainees
on data ownership. Researchers can establish collegial relationships with
trainees to allow resolution of authorship concerns before manuscripts are
submitted. Further, journals can provide explicit instructions regarding
authorship rights.
“This is an instructive, though unfortunate, case,” said Fang. “Science
nearly always involves a collaborative effort, and a report of scientific
findings should have the endorsement of all team members involved.”

下次发表的时候还要看PI的后代脸色了。
其实现在的版权,很多名人的后代都在拿这个要钱啊。

刁德一∶(唱)新四军久在沙家浜,
这棵大树有荫凉。
你与他们常来往,
想必是安排照应更周祥。
阿庆嫂∶(唱)垒起七星灶,铜壶煮三江。
摆开八仙桌, 招待十六方。
来得都是客, 全凭嘴一张。
相逢开口笑,
过后不思量。
人一走,茶就凉。
有什么周祥不周祥.

g*********r 发帖数: 2033 | 17 估计这个sanders 不打算给 刁 一作了
否则刁不会这么做的,换一个通讯作者,或者加一个通讯作者,刁应该不介意的
唯一能让他这么做的就是牵扯到他自己的credit的问题
很可能这个sanders想把自己学生做一作
结果这成了双输的局面 --作为直接做这个项目的刁现在肯定撕破脸了,他坚决反对这
个paper也发布出去
而且他可以公开实验条件,很快这个paper就由别的lab 发了
