The Dutch anthropologist making up data and papers
What is this about?
This blog post is about an anthropologist who claimed to be using pseudonyms to protect his subjects but in fact, was making things up. His fraudulent research practices resulted in several retractions.
Why is this important?
It shows that some researchers might use ethical reasoning (e.g. protecting subjects' confidentiality) to fabricate data and results.
