Champions of science or blacklisting bureaucrats?
Abstract:
Unconvinced that science could police itself against research misconduct, the federal government in 1989 created an Office of Scientific Integrity (OSI) within the National Institutes of Health. Since then, OSI has launched high-profile investigations into big-name scientists using a method that researchers say violates their due process of law and destroys reputations. Changes are in the offing, but are they enough to protect the integrity of government-funded research and scientists' right to due process?
