[KS] Standards of Professional Conduct

[Adam Bohnet]

Dear all

If I my express my thoughts on this matter. I do not think that there was anything per se  wrong, or unprofessional, about raising these matters - either the various matters raised by Don Baker or the matters raised by Jiyul Kim, Balasz Szalontai, and others - on this list. So, I do not agree with many posters here.

However, I strongly agree that these discussions have gone on much  too long on the list, and that there is nothing more to be gained from continuing these discussions in this forum.

Sincerely,

Adam Bohnet

First of all, a valid vehicle for publicly discussing these matters has been made already: publish a book review or sit on an author-meets-critics panel. Secondly, this is no longer a discussion but a rehashing of the same or similar points. As a non-historian, but one who is still very much concerned with research ethics and who reads each KS post from top-to-bottom, publishing a book review is the appropriate vehicle for "public discussion of academic deception."

The American Historical Association's Standards of Professional Conduct contains this statement:

"Scholarship flourishes in an atmosphere of openness and candor, which should include the scrutiny and public discussion of academic deception."

If you agree with this as I do, and if Korean Studies forum is not the place for this "public discussion" of scholarship about Korea, as some subscribers seem to opine, then where?
