Retractions of papers from publication have increased tenfold between 2005 and 2011. Each incident affects the reputation of scientists, academic institutions, and public perception, which can lead to reduced funding from NIH and NSF. The role of images in publication has largely been a subtopic in Publication Ethics, yet reported cases of scientific misconduct in which images have been involved ballooned to 80% from 1989 to 2008. Images require a series of specific steps to be taken in order to protect, calibrate and create publication-ready images in research and reports. Guest presenter, Jerry Sedgewick, of  Imaging and Analysis, LLC will discuss these issues in detail.
