32. Dr. Jones has participated in a research trial sponsored by a medical device company. The company sends him a manuscript presenting the trial results and conclusions, written by a trained science writer the company has hired. Dr. Jones is asked to look over the text and to sign his name to the paper, which will then be submitted to a medical journal as his work. The company notes how busy Dr. Jones is and how hard it is to find time to write up research results. Dr. Jones will be paid $1000 for his help in putting his name on the manuscript.
