Interpretation (d) requires that publications recognize all authors and contributors, and that the authors of any published work on which another work is based must give written permission for their work to be used. It further requires that all technical communications must adhere to accepted guidelines. But how should we recognize the contribution of colleagues and sources in situations that are less formal, such as job interviews? Consider the situation described in "Jack Fry's Interview"
(http://www.onlineethics.org/CMS/.../jackfry.aspx):

Jack Fry was a chemical engineering postdoctoral fellow in a multidisciplinary group of engineers, biologists and medical doctors. Jack was now close to the end of his post-doctoral fellowship, and was seeking a faculty position in a chemical engineering department. Jack presented his research at a job interview, including the results of several collaborators. Jack did not mention any collaborators who had helped him or contributed to his own work in his talk, but his last slide, entitled "Acknowledgments," did list contributors. The department, very impressed with the wide range of Jack's skills described in his presentation, offered him a tenure-track position.

To what extent does a presentation at an interview resemble a publication? To what extent does it differ? Did Jack adequately acknowledge the contributions of others in his multidisciplinary group of researchers?

A job interview is a less formal setting than a professional conference, so there are fewer established protocols for recognizing the contribution of collaborators in multidisciplinary projects. The key point is that Jack acknowledged the contribution of others and did not give the impression that he was solely responsible for the accomplishments. It would have been better, however, if Jack had acknowledged in each slide the contributor whose work was being cited.
