Max Bazerman is a towering giant in the field: for him to be a co-author of a suspicious publication is beyond scandalous.
Nothing less than the APA itself must intervene to definitively discover what happened and identify all involved (a host of PhD graduate students know and/or were participants). Censure must be from the highest levels if these allegations prove true.
Then we can have an infinitely robust discussion about the ridiculousness of publish or perish in academia...
There is a real need for a discussion on the publish or perish culture in academia as it seems to be having a negative impact on the overall quality of research.
This would be great if it resulted in a reversal of established academics not wanting their names on papers unlessy they are conversant with the whole experiment and where integrally involved rather than the current practice of adding anyone who you so much as borrowed a piece of equipment from.
