Harvard Business School’s Francesca Gino allegedly chalked up phony results tied to studies, including one focused on honest behavior, the New York Times reported.
She’s been placed on leave, according to her business school web page, which the Times reported showed she was still on the job as recently as mid-May.
She has published 135 articles since 2007, according to the Chronicle for Higher Education.
The accusations lodged against Gino were leading to major “reverberations in the academic community” because Gino has “so many collaborators, so many articles, who is really a leading scholar in the field,” he told the Times.
Gino has been honored as one of the top 40 Business Professors under 40 and has notched numerous awards.
Her studies have also been featured in an array of news articles and broadcasts.
I wonder if anyone will run a retraction?
That would require the sort of honest analysis that would have kept this from happening. Also the collaborators would be fucked.
I will post in Imp's honor.
A woman lied in her study about honesty? Who could have seen this coming? And one so well-credentialed, as well.
