The epistemic integrity of scientific research
What is this about?
This case describes a concept of epistemic integrity that is based on the property of deceptiveness, and argues that this concept does meet Carnap’s four requirements of explication. To illustrate and support their claims they use several examples from scientific practice, mainly from biomedical research[1].
Why is this important?
We live in a world in which scientific expertise and its epistemic authority become more important. On the other hand, the financial interests in research, which could potentially corrupt science, are increasing. Due to these two tendencies, a concern for the integrity of scientific research becomes increasingly vital[2].
