Study: Fraud growing in scientific research papers --- Scientific fraud is a topic I am particularly interested in and wrote my own post about it here. We live in a time where some people put a lot of 'faith' in 'scientism', so I think it's important that people realize that just because something is written in a scientific report or said by a man in a lab coat does not always mean it's true. Here is a quote from the article:
"Bigger money makes for bigger reasons for fraud," said New York University bioethicist Arthur Caplan. "More fame, more potential for profit... Some of the cheating and fraud is not too dissimilar to the cheating and fraud we've seen in banking."
And in addition to that, I also think furthering an agenda or belief is also prevalent in scientific fraud.
