Scientific misconduct at an elite medical institute: The role of competing institutional logics and fragmented control
What is this about?
This paper builds on the concepts of competing logics and institutional fields to analyze a serious case of medical and scientific misconduct at a leading research institute, Karolinska in Sweden, home to the Nobel Prize in Medicine[1].
This is a factual case.
Why is this important?
The incidence of revealed fraud and dishonesty in academia is on the rise, and so is the number of studies seeking to explain scientific misconduct[1].
