Harvard honesty researcher accused of plagiarism.

Another day, another academic researcher is being accused of dishonesty. In this case, it is Francesca Gino, recently the Tandon Family professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. The particular kind of dishonesty in question is plagiarism.
Light Bulbs Concept Shining ETHICS, RESPECT, HONESTY and INTEGRITY
Two things about this story make it especially noteworthy. The first is that Gino has for several decades been one of the leading researchers in the world on the topic of honesty . For instance, she has examined the relationship between cheating and variables like psychological closeness, creativity, and self-image. Some of her published papers include “Evil Genius? How Dishonesty Can Lead to Greater Creativity” and “Sweeping Dishonesty Under the Rug: How Unethical Actions Lead to Forgetting of Moral Rules.” Now this honesty researcher is being accused of dishonesty herself.
The other noteworthy aspect of this story is that it follows closely on the heels of other dishonesty allegations against Gino. A 2023 internal report by Harvard Business School found that Gino “committed research misconduct intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly” with respect to four of her published papers. Research investigators with Data Colada had found evidence which, in their view, suggested that data was being manipulated or falsified in Gino’s research, prompting Harvard to investigate. Subsequently, Gino reacted by filing a $25 million lawsuit against Harvard and Data Colada.
What about these new charges of plagiarism? Professor Gino’s attorney, Andrew T. Miltenberg, has replied to The Harvard Crimson that “we will continue to fiercely defend Professor Gino’s integrity against what appears to be an ongoing attempt to slander her reputation. History has shown the peril of premature judgment, particularly within the scientific community, where reputations can be irreparably tarnished. Professor Gino is steadfast in her commitment to uncovering the truth in each instance, responding decisively and correcting the record if necessary.”
Over the years, I have reached out to Professor Gino to be a part of some of the activities for the Honesty Project , which I directed (she respectfully declined). She also declined my invitation to reply directly to the concerns about plagiarism.

As far as the substance of the plagiarism allegations is concerned, is this just a case of one sloppy citation here and there? According to investigative work by Science , one of the leading research journals, there are numerous instances of plagiarism in multiple works by Gino. This includes a co-authored book chapter with 10 unacknowledged sources for particular passages. It also includes the two books Gino has written, in which Science was able to find “at least 15 additional passages of borrowed text.” Strikingly, according to Science , the source “used most extensively” by Gino without proper acknowledgment is an undergraduate senior thesis completed in 2014 at Tilburg University by Jasper Beijneveld, who today is not even an academic.
To give one illustration of what Science found, compare a passage from an article in this very publication, Forbes , with a passage from Gino’s 2013 book, Sidetracked:
2011 Forbes Article :
“Consider Ken Olsen, the giant who pioneered the minicomputer sector as a co-founder of Digital Equipment Corporation in 1957. For the next decade, DEC dominated the scientific and engineering workstation market, especially through its leading position in universities. By the late 1970s, Olsen led the company’s development of a unified hardware architecture and operating system…”
Gino’s 2013 Book Sidetracked (p. 25):
“Or consider the story of Ken Olsen, a leader in the minicomputer sector as a cofounder of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) back in 1957. During the following two decades, DEC dominated the scientific and engineering workstation market and, by the late 1970s, was number two in the computer industry under Olsen’s leadership, thanks to the company’s development of a unified hardware architecture and operating system.”
There appears to be too much overlap here between the two texts for this to be merely coincidental. According to Science , there is no citation by Gino to the original Forbes article.
It is hard not to note some of the potential ironies here. A prominent honesty researcher has now been accused of not one, but two major forms of academic dishonesty. She in turn is alleging that her accusers are being less than honest in their claims about her alleged dishonesty in her research on dishonesty. Her accusers in turn deny this. On and on it goes.

The building and construction sector is responsible for 36% of the total energy usage and for 39% of energy/process related emissions. A large part of this energy is used by heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that regulate a building's indoor climate. This thesis aims at developing smart HVAC controllers that can be used at scale.
