    Area of Science:

    • Scientific integrity and research ethics.
    • Cross-disciplinary study of scientific misconduct.

    Background:

    • Recent decades have seen an increase in documented cases of fraud, cheating, forged experiments, and plagiarism.
    • These issues span diverse scientific fields, including biomedical research and psychometrics.
    • The scientific community's typical reaction has been denial or minimization of the problem's prevalence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To challenge the view of scientific fraud as rare or solely due to individual pathology.
    • To analyze historical instances of scientific fraud.
    • To develop a taxonomy of research misconduct and suggest methods for its reduction.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical case study analysis of scientific fraud.
    • Development of a classification system (taxonomy) for different types of scientific fraud.
    • Ethical and sociological examination of research integrity.

    Main Results:

    • Scientific fraud is not an isolated phenomenon but a recurring issue.
    • A systematic classification of fraudulent practices can be established.
    • Understanding the patterns of fraud is key to developing effective countermeasures.

    Conclusions:

    • Scientific fraud requires acknowledgment as a significant and non-rare problem.
    • Recognizing fraud as a systemic issue, rather than individual pathology, is crucial.
    • Implementing strategies based on historical analysis and a clear taxonomy can help decrease the incidence of scientific fraud.
