-'''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)
