Last month, the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) overturned four previous not-guilty findings by announcing that James Abbs of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, "intentionally falsified and fabricated" data in a paper he published in 1987. Abbs, who denies the charges, has agreed not to appeal--the financial and personal strain would be too great, he says--in return for avoiding the risk of debarment from government grants and a chance to rebut the charges in writing. But Abbs has submitted a stinging rebuttal that challenges ORI's findings and its use of statistical analyses as evidence of guilt.
