Information regarding investigation of suspected scientific misconduct

24 June was the deadline for comments on Professor Emeritus Bengt Gerdins report on suspected scientific misconduct. Karolinska Institutet has received 31 replies from the co-authors of the criticized articles. All together the recently submitted material consists of circa 1.000 pages.

The final process leading to a decision of the case has now begun, in which the comments from the co-authors will be taken into consideration. Because of the vast amount of material it is today not possible to set a date for when Karolinska Institutet's decision will be made.
