Like all human endeavors, scientists engage in some (mostly low-grade) misconduct. Unlike many professionals, however, I suspect scientists have greater alacrity in policing and exposing themselves:
One-third of scientists surveyed said that within the previous three years, they'd engaged in at least one practice that would probably get them into trouble, the report said. Examples included circumventing minor aspects of rules for doing research on people and overlooking a colleague's use of flawed data or questionable interpretation of data.
