EPA scientists were reportedly ordered to halt publication of research papers
Employees who spoke with The Washington Post said they were told papers would be subject to a new review process.
According to a report by The Washington Post, scientists with the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water were told by "political appointees" to stop work on studies that were headed for publication, as they'll now be "subject to a new review process." The only papers exempt are those for which "scientific journals had already returned proofs — the final step in the academic publication process," reports The Washington Post, which spoke to two agency employees.
