The collection of articles surrounding the Hwang Stem Cell Fraud Case has been removed from the Science magazine website. The page is archived on the Wayback Machine here, but the links are broken. I am copying the resource here to continue to provide the resource with active links.


Preamble

On December 1, 2006, Science published, on this Web site, the report of a committee commissioned by the journal to review its practices in the period leading up to the publication of the 2004 and 2005 stem cell papers by Hwang et al., which were subsequently retracted. On this page, we are making available direct links to the report, Science's response, and an accompanying editorial.

To provide additional context on the history of the controversy, we also provide on this page links to Science's editorial retraction of the papers and other official statements on the situation, the original Science papers, associated news coverage on the controversy, letters and a Policy Forum on the controversy, and another Policy Forum on stem cell ethics published earlier in 2005. Committee Report and Science Response

In its 1 December issue, Science published an editorial, authored by Editor-in-Chief Don Kennedy, discussing the journal's internal review process in the wake of the Hwang scandal, as well as the review conducted by a committee including members of the journal's Senior Editorial Board, the U.S. executive editor of another major scientific journal, and two distinguished members of the stem cell research community. Links to the editorial and associated report appear below.

Science Editorial Statements

On 12 January 2006, Science editorially retracted the two papers by Hwang et al. Previous to that the journal had also published an official Editorial Expression of Concern on the papers, and it also has issued several formal statements on the current controversy, as well as a chronology.

  • Editorial Retraction of Hwang et al. Papers
  • Editorial Statement, 10 January 2006
    • On 10 January, in the wake of the final report by the Seoul National University investigating committee, Science editor-in-chief Donald Kennedy presented a brief statement of the journal's position and plans with respect to retractions of the two papers by Hwang et al. A video of the statement and an accompanying written version are posted here.
  • Editorial Expression of Concern
  • Formal Science Editorial statement
    • During the early months of the Hwang controversy, Science released periodic statements and chronologies on the evolving situation. The last update of the statement, posted on 12 January 2006 at 6:30 p.m. EST, can be found here (not available).
