Famous frauds
View through CrossRef
A large part of the chapter is dedicated to the story of one of the biggest frauds in science. It is the story of Hendrik Schön and his fantastic discoveries in the field of molecular electronics, and how wrong and manipulated papers ended up getting published in the scientific journals Science and Nature. This provides a stimulus to think about the rules of modern science and how it puts high pressure on young researchers to obtain wonderful results. The last part of the chapter deals with the actual dimensions of fraud in science (still low but growing) and with the dimension of other phenomena such as general cases of misconduct.
