Is There Something for Nothing? Rights and Responsibilities in Academic Research

Michael Klein will discuss issues related to academic publishing, including the pressure to publish, quantity vs. quality in research output, the temptation to submit work quickly (and the problems that may arise from this), integrity in research and the benefits and drawbacks of co-authorship. The author will draw from the academic novel Something for Nothing that tells the story of a young academic who faces particular challenges with his research during his first year as a professor.
