Deception by Research Participants
What is this about?
Regulations and policies of federal agencies and academic institutions prohibit misconduct in research, including data fabrication and falsification. These rules, however, focus exclusively on researchers and their institutions. If a research participant fabricates or falsifies his or her medical history to qualify for enrollment in a study, that behavior would not violate federal rules or institutional policies[1].
Why is this important?
Fraud in science can also be caused by participants.
