A 2009 systematic review and meta-analysis of survey data found that about 2% of scientists admitted to falsifying, fabricating, or modifying data at least once.
These are just the ones they know about:
A listing of "scientists accurately reporting their data" wouldn't fit in one publication.
I guess that's why there is this one. Good thing there are so many accepted 'incidents' !
I found the guy listed that had his article retracted from the Lancet regarding the Measles vaccine causing autism.
I wonder if Ponds and Fletcher (spelling ?) and their cold fusion thing are in there ? I only sort of looked.
Pons and Fleischmann
Over the past thirty years other people have occasionally got similar sorts of odd results, so they probably weren't "falsifying, fabricating, or modifying data"
When I was a lowly post-doc at the University of Southampton from 1971 to 1973, Martin Fleischmann was the professor of Electrochemistry there. I didn't have anything to do with him, but his post-docs thought highly of him.
