Abstract

Why care about research misconduct? Accounts of scientists on its causes and impact.

Research misconduct, although not unknown to the scientific community and beyond, in recent years has become the focus of much, often heated, debate and investigation. Some understand misconduct as an ‘anomaly’, a rare exception. Others see it as a ‘constant,’ an endemic (or it is pandemic?) phenomenon, while others look at “ ‘normal misbehaviors’ that are part of the ordinary life of researchers…” (de Vries, et al., 2006) linked to the organization of science that affects both ethical compliance and deviance from ethics principles. Notwithstanding understandings of misconduct much effort is dedicated in examining, regulating and understanding the negative impact of research misconduct; the harm caused by misconduct. In this presentation we will look at scientists’ accounts of the causes, the types and the harm caused by scientific misconduct based on findings of the HORIZON2020 funded project DEFORM.
