Continuing US Visa Problems

• Procedures and policies for US visa approval have
  impacted many scientists, from students to
  laboratory directors.
• Even though procedures at the consulates have
  been streamlined, they overall process remains
  inefficient, unnecessarily length and opaque.
• There is growing recognition that this situation
  is severe and consequences might be irreparable!
• Various proposals, including one by leaders of
  the major US science organizations are being
  evaluated by US government agencies. It is hoped
  that some of them will get implemented,
• multi-entry multi-year visa for students and
  scientists with continuing
• engagements
• elimination of repetitive drawn-out
  security checks
• return pass ports to applicants while
  application is being considered
• special procedures for conferences and
  meetings with international
• participation
• addition of trained staff and other
  resources to improve processing of
• applications
• Consistent with its mandate IUPAP has advised
  that it will not sponsor any conference in the
  USA until free access of scientists can be
  guaranteed.

New Initiative Authorship of Publications

• As Collaborations supporting major experiments
  grow, we need to rethink authorship of
  publications
• Author lists cannot continue to grow, because
• they do not appropriately credit those who have
  contributed
• they do not allow others to identify those most
  knowledgeable about the results, thereby
  hampering scientific discourse
• Lead to absurd publication and citation records
• Proposal for formation of Working Group reporting
  to C11
• Representing large collaborations, Laboratories,
  C11, plus individuals
• Interacting with IUPAP WG on publications
• Consultation with publishers
• Outcome is uncertain most of us recognize the
  problem, but solutions are difficult. Consensus
  will be hard to achieve!
• Can we formulate guidelines? Collaborations have
  their own way?
• Is C11 prepared to formulate a charge and time
  line for the WG?

11
Proposed Agenda for Authorship Discussions

• Representatives of the major collaborations have
  been invited to give a very brief overview of
  what their current practices are, or/and what
  they are planning for the future.
• These presentation should be very brief, 5 min
  max.
• Most of the time should be reserved for
  discussion
• 1) 10 min Introduction Vera
  Luth, C11
• 2) 45 min Reports on current
  practices/plans in large collaborations
• H1 Max Klein
• D0 Dimitri Denisov
• CDF Daniel Withson
• BABAR David MacFarlane
• Belle Steve Olsen
• ATLAS Rüdiger Voss
• CMS Chunhua Jiang
• 3) 50 min Open Discussion
• 4) 15 min Conclusions
• Should we form a working group to continue this
  evaluation?
• What is the charge? what can we expect?
  membership?
• Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2000 2200, Conference
  Room 7, 2nd Floor of BICC

12
Proposed WG on Authorship

• Should C11 initiate the formation of a WG?
• What is the charge? what can we expect?
• Membership?
• Representatives of large Collaborations

• CDF, DO, BTEV,MINOS
• BELLE, BABAR, Super-K,.
• Representatives of large HEP Labs?
• C11 members
• Representatives of universities, smaller labs
• Chairperson(s)?, Secretary?

APS Guidelines on Authorship

• Authorship should be limited to those who have
  made significant contributions to the concept,
  executions, or interpretations of the research
  study.
• All those who have contributed in this way should
  be listed as authors.
• Other individuals who have contributed and are
  not identified as authors should be acknowledged.
• Sources of financial support should be disclosed.
• All Collaborators share some degree of
  responsibility for any paper they co-author.
• Some co-authors have responsibility for the
  entire paper as an accurate, verifiable report of
  research. They include those who are accountable
  for the integrity of the critical data, carry out
  the analysis, write the manuscript, present major
  findings at conferences, or provide scientific
  leadership for junior colleagues.
• Coauthors who make specific, limited
  contributions to a paper are responsible for
  them, but may only have limited responsibility
  for other results.

18
APS Guidelines on Authorship (cont.)

• While not all coauthors may be familiar with all
  aspects of the research presented, collaborations
  should have in place an appropriate process for
  reviewing and ensuring the accuracy and validity
  of the reported results,.
• Every coauthor should have the opportunity to
  review the manuscript before its submission.
• Collaborations should have a process to archive
  and verify the research record to facilitate
  communication and allow all authors to be fully
  aware of the entire work, critique it and pose
  questions concerning the work and be able to
  share the data prior to and after publication.
• All members of a collaborations should be aware
  of and understand this process.

19
Current Problem Visa to USA
C11

• Because of US role in International Conflicts
  enhanced security measures have been imposed to
  control the borders
• Visa applicants are interviewed in person at US
  consulates
• Consular officers are personally liable for any
  action that might lead to
• Infiltration of members of terrorist
  organizations
• Exchange of information on design of WMD or their
  import
• Illegal immigration
• The new enforced procedures take months, with the
  applicants passport held by the consulate.
• As a result, several delegates to LP03 and other
  conferences have not received US Visa (others
  chose not to apply)
• Either denied without reason specified
• Not approved in time for conference
• NAS and DOE as well as personal intervention
  helped only in a few cases.
• In case of problems, please contact your
  countrys C11 conference contact or a C11 member
  and/or record your problems at special NAS
  website http//www7.nationalacademies.org/visas/V
  isa_Questionnaire.html
• The current US procedures resulted in a violation
  of IUPAPs requirement of free access of bona
  fide scientists to its conferences!
• The IUPAP Council will address this during its
  Meeting in October 2003!
