Re: [tips] How Should the New Papers by Scientists Convicted of Misconduct Be Handled by Journals?
It appears that we see those colleagues who have been found to violate scientific standards in the same way that society views sex offenders. Place them on a registry and treat them with extraordinary vigilance. We all know they are incorrigible.

Good article, Mike, thanks for posting it. In my view, this would depend on the nature and circumstances of the misconduct. One of the most common criticisms of how the system in the US deals with such cases is that offenders who have falsified or fabricated data often get away with only a slap on the wrist (e.g., being banned from applying for grants for x number of years).
