Example (APA)
Bell, R. (1992). Impure science: Fraud, compromise, and political
influence in scientific research. New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Money has a major influence on scientific behavior. As competition for
grants and pressures to produce increase, “doctoring” of data may also
increase. Colleagues are resistant to report perpetrators because the
entire organization may lose credibility or funding. The author examines
the roles of the peer review system, referee system, and replication in
detecting misconduct. Bell suggests that conflicts of interest often hinder
the preventative aspects of the system. For example, often the whistle
blower is punished for speaking out. Bell sums up with prospective
change.
