The case of Vipul Bhrigu and the federal definition of research misconduct
What is this about?
The Office of Research Integrity found in 2011 that Vipul Bhrigu, a postdoctoral researcher who sabotaged a colleague’s research materials, was guilty of misconduct[1]. This case describes when something is considered as scientific misconduct and whether this really was the case.
Why is this important?
When accuding someone for committing scientific fraud, it is important that the definition is clear en interpretative by everybody.
