I do...This is quite interesting, in and of itself. I don't know how you're organizing the data in the overarching project, but how does it look if, say, you list all the incidents of scientific misconduct according to the current corporate entity?<BR/><BR/>For example, incidents involving GSK would also cover historical incidents involving Glaxo, Wellcome, Smithkline, Beecham, and any subsidiaries. This doesn't work as well, when looking at companies that have de-merged, or floated specialist arms as separate entities, but, anyway... just an idea.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it would be easier to deal with the data, by using academic institutions as the primary criteria (because they don't tend to merge and split, with such regularity)? So, I dunno, hypothetically, Harvard's been involved in 30 incidents, in the past 30 years, 10 of which have involved what is currently known as Company A, in various historical forms? One never knows, a trend might emerge!<BR/><BR/>MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.com
