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




Proposal for formation of Working Group reporting to C11






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
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?

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


Belle
Steve Olsen


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?

World Conference on Physics and Sustainable
Development, Durban, S.A. Oct. 31st – Nov, 2nd, 2005.



Sponsored by IUPAP, jointly with UNESCO and ICTP, as well as the
S.A. Institute of Physics, as part of the celebration of 2005 as the
Year of Physics
400-500 participants from developed and developing nations
Goal:




Four themes:





Examine contributions that physics has made to society in the past
Formulate and sharpen action-oriented plans for contributions it can and should
make in the future
Engage organizations of physicists in the collective implementation
Physics and Economic Development
Physics and Health
Energy and Environment
Physics Education

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 coauthor.
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.

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.


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 applicant’s 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)





Current Problem: Visa to USA
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 country’s C11 conference contact or a C11 member
and/or record your problems at special NAS website
http://www7.nationalacademies.org/visas/Visa_Questionnaire.html
The current US procedures resulted in a violation of IUPAP’s requirement of
free access of bona fide scientists to its conferences!
The IUPAP Council will address this during its Meeting in October 2003!
