 In the book "The 4 Percent Universe", scientific journalist Richard Panek claims that Riess made improper use of the supernova data collected by the Calán/Tololo Survey, publishing them prior to the authors and without their permission.However, coincident publication dates and acknowledgements in one of these publications contradict this claim.Riess received the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's Robert J. Trumpler Award in 1999 and Harvard University's Bok Prize in 2001.
