Line 1:
Line 1: − '''Academic dishonesty''' is academic misconduct which violates the principles of [[academic integrity]]. For students, this primarily means cheating on a test - pretending you've learned more than you really have. For researchers, this generally refers to [[intellectual dishonesty]], such as knowingly presenting an unsound argument in favor of a proposition for ideological reasons. + − − Scientists unknowing drift academic dishonesty by incorrectly assuming that a small sample represents the whole (see [[statistical sampling]]). The pressures of the "[[publish or perish]]" mindset may drive some scientists to such deliberate acts as: − * faking research to support a theory (see "[[fudging]]") − * discarding data which contradict a theory − * [[character assassination]] of scientists who advance competing theories − * refusing to make data available for review by interested parties (See [[Richard Lenski]] for an example) − − ==See Also== − [[Evolution syndrome]] − − [[category:Education]] − [[Category:Liberal Traits]]
