Description
Book SynopsisIntroduces the main characteristics of research misconduct, portrays how the characteristics are distributed, and identifies the elements of the organisational context and the practice of scientific research which enable or deter misconduct. The authors suggest ways in which efforts to expose and prevent misconduct can further change the work of scientists, universities, and scientific research.
Trade ReviewThis is a timely book on an important topic for the international scientific community. It applies well-established criminological thinking to the growing challenge of fraud and fabrication in the conduct of research, enhancing our understanding of its causes, and the likely effectiveness of current policy responses."" - Robert Dingwall, Nottingham Trent University
""
Fraud and Misconduct in Research clearly reflects an astute knowledge and assessment of the existing literature on the topic of interest and makes a significant new contribution by enlarging our perspectives to include the organizational field within which acts of fraud and detection in research have taken place and how they are dealt with."" - Harold T. Shapiro, Princeton University
