Nature special feature on scientific misconduct
Today's issue of Nature (vol 445, pp 229 and 240-246; 2007) contains an Editorial and several news stories about scientific misconduct. These articles, with links to the journal content (subscription required) are listed at Nature's newsblog so that readers can comment.
From the Editorial: ...."most important of all, as the first scientific studies of the factors behind good conduct confirm, is the example set by senior researchers themselves. It is here in the laboratory — not in the law courts or the offices of a university administrator — that the trajectory of research conduct for the twenty-first century is being set."
