ABSTRACT
A previous version of this post was supposed to go live in January 2019. But the day before it was scheduled, the Data Colada team (Uri, Leif, and Joe) received an email that we took to be a potential death threat. After discussions with the local police, the FBI, and our families, we decided to postpone its publication indefinitely. That post provided evidence of data fabrication in a paper authored by Ping Dong, a former professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. We recently learned that Ping Dong’s PhD institution – the University of Toronto – has concluded an investigation into her work that has led them to revoke her PhD after finding it "likely she fabricated data in her thesis" (source: RetractionWatch story).
