publications</title></head><body>
<div>Greetings,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm looking for practices or recommendations for correcting
attribution in an article we published in our electronically-deployed
and online-posted<i> ILP Edition of MIT Technology Insider</i>.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We just received a letter from a former graduate student who is
irate that a faculty member did not credit him for his (?their?)
research which was discussed in the article. The student is requesting
that the faculty publicly "retract" the interview, and is
threatening legal action.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We are, of course, checking this out with the faculty member,
etc. I'm just curious about how others may have handled a similar
situation and what the style protocol might be.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>sara</div>
