Sexual Misconduct, Accused Scientists, and Their Research
研究发现，美国大学中涉及性行为不端案件的科学家在指控公开后，其先前研究的引用量下降，且更可能离开学术界或减少发表，对同行影响因距离和领域性别构成而异。
Abstract Does the scientific community sanction sexual misconduct? Using a sample of scientists at U.S. universities involved in substantiated cases of sexual misconduct that became public, we find that their prior work is cited less after the allegations become known. The effect weakens with distance in the coauthorship network, suggesting that researchers primarily learn about misconduct through their peers. Among the closest peers, male authors react more strongly. In male-dominated fields, the effects on citations appear muted. Accused scientists are more likely to leave academic research, to move to non-university institutions, and to publish less.
