An Ohio State University pharmacy professor has agreed to request retractions of much of his research after university and government officials found that he falsified data in six journal articles. As part of an agreement disclosed today, Terry S. Elton said he will avoid contracting or subcontracting with any agency of the federal government for three years, or serving in any advisory capacity to the U.S. Public Health Service for three years. He will request that five of his scientific publications be retracted.
