There is something peculiar about Professor Green's spin on his own culpability in the matter. Even though he is the co-author, he claims not to have had access to the raw data because the study was not approved by Columbia's IRB, only by UCLA.
I do not know of anything that forbids data analysis without local IRB approval. Am I missing something?

At that point he said that the graduate student had not admitted wrong doing. However, he said that the was almost certain that data were fabricated.

Please quibble. Well, who am I to refuse an invitation? ;-) Though PolySci types, there is much here that is relevant to psychologists, especially methodologists. Putting the issue of fraud (unverifiable data collection and analysis in the first study of the retracted paper) aside, it is interesting to note that the authors Green and LaCour were co-authors on a previous paper. From scholar.google.com, here is the reference: Aronow, P. M., Gerber, A. S., Green, D. P., Kern, H., & LaCour, M. J. (2015). Double Sampling for Nonignorable Missing Outcome Data in Randomized Experiments. Note #1: Apparently this is an unpublished manuscript and Google Scholar also has a 2014 version entry in its database. The link to the 2014 pdf of the article on scholar.google.com is dead but the link to the 2015 is alive. You can obtain the PDF of the manuscript here (for now): http://csap.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/green2.pdf Note #2: Aronow is the first author of this paper. Aronow is also named in the Retraction Watch article as the person Green went to regarding the problems in the LaCour & Green manuscript Note #3: The PDF is available on Yale's "Center for the Study of American Politics" (CSAP). A search of the website for "Donald Green" and "Michael LaCour" turns up nothing -- it seems that the search "ANDs" the two names. A search using "Michael LaCour" provides no hits while a search using "Donald Green" produces two hits; see: http://csap.yale.edu/search/node/%22Donald%20Green%22 Both hits are to CSAP workshops on quantitative research methods. Note #4. One of the workshop that Green gave at CSAP is based on the manuscript identified above; see: http://csap.yale.edu/event/macmillan-csap-workshop-quantitative-research-methods-donald-green-double-sampling The workshop/presentation was being given at Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) which the page immediately above claims that Green was the director of during 1996-2011. Note #5: A search of ISPS for "Donald Green" and "Michael LaCour" produces no hits. A search for just "Donald Green" produces a number of hits (including the one at CSAP) plus others on topics such as regression discontinuity analysis (Political Analysis), ISPS Experiment workshop, and other political and methodological topics; see: http://isps.yale.edu/search/node/%22Donald%20Green%22#.VV32u1Ldb-o Looks like Yale doesn't want anything to do with Michael LaCour even though he is a co-author on a paper from one of their research centers. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: smcke...@ubishops.ca.
