Scientific Ethics and the Signs of Voodoo Science

By Andrew S. Hirsch

Purdue University

Category Online Presentations
Abstract Until recently, the issue of research ethics had not been a subject of explicit discussion within the Physics community. Over the past ten years, however, documented cases of scientific fraud have brought this issue to center stage. We will explore, through case studies, some examples ranging from poor scientific practice to deliberate manipulation and fabrication of data.
