陷害张生家的伪科流知在网上散发了大量的谣言，其中一条是张生家在挪威时就是一个抢夺他人果实的学术不端分子。

为此，《科学伦理》主编刘实致信张生家在挪威的老板：2014年诺贝尔生理学奖得主MOSER夫妇。下面是MOSER答复的一部分：

 

“claims about misconduct regarding authorship during the time here at this university are only rumours. Authorship is decided by the senior author, not the first author. There is no investigation of misconduct here, and there has never been.”

 

MOSER答复称对张生家作者署名不轨的指控纯属谣言。
