• Douglas Morrison, talks presented at special Cold Fusion American Physical Society session on 1 May 1989, and at University of Utah, 22 Sept. 1989. Douglas Morrison suggested among other ideas that a correlation exists between positive Cold Fusion findings and climate. In these talks, he also identified elements of pathological science as being present in positive Cold Fusion findings. Reference 2 refers to Morrison's University of Utah talk.

• John Bockris, (private communication), points out that at the time of the publication of this special series of articles for Accountability in Research, there have been more than 2000 articles, in which positive findings of excess heat have been reported and that these findings have been reported from different laboratories located throughout the world

• 1994 . The American Scholar , 63 ( 4 ) Autumn Copyright ©1994 by David Goodstein, with the permission of David Goodstein. Reasons for including it in the present collection are the following: 1. The periodical where it appeared previously has a limited distribution; 2. The article provides a central theme (associated with the definition of “normal science”; and why Cold Fusion is not “normal science") that is used elsewhere in the collection; 3. The article includes additional information, not found in the original, that re‐affirms the point that despite the fact that important 4He findings have been observed, this fact is not widely known and that for this reason, the field should be viewed as not being “normal;”; and 4. The article provides a degree of balance to the collection because its author has not been actively involved in the debate and is an expert on issues related to Ethics in Science

Fusion Technology , 23 : 474 As discussed in David Goodstein's article, on the basis of information inferred from television coverage, Nathan Lewis suggested that Pons and Fleischmann had made serious errors in their calorimetric measurements. Although Lewis never prepared a detailed publication, based on this particular talk, he did publish an analysis that suggested why one would not expect to obtain excess heat in a Pons/ Fleischmann type of experiment. Subsequently, in papers by Noninski and Non‐inski
