| Abstract | This paper suggests that harsher criminal sanctions against misconduct, better protections for whistleblowers, and the creation of due process standards for misconduct investigations are urgently needed. Although the causes of misconduct and estimates of problem remain varied, the literature suggests that scientific misconduct--fraud, fabrication, and plagiarism of scientific research--continues to damage public health and trust in science. |
