The overview and recommendations described in this article may aid in the prevention of such accidental scientific misconduct. Moreover, this resource can also help to uncover more intentional forms of scientific misconduct. It is noted in the article that many cases of scientific misconduct are reported by the thoughtful readers of scientific articles.
