This book explores the subject of research misconduct: its
definition, what behaviours should fall under its label, and the
types of preventive and repressive procedures that should be put to
practice to combat it. Adopting a criminological perspective, Faria
views research misconduct as a locus of analysis for corporate and
white-collar crime. Based upon an empirical study involving
in-depth interviews and documentary analysis, this original
research offers an interesting approach to an age-old problem which
is growing ever more important. The commodification of research -
together with perceived risks of research misconduct - is opening
the way to ambiguous and ineffective forms of social control over
scholars, affecting their commitment to research integrity and the
responsible conduct of research. Despite this, however, little
consensus around the phenomenon exists. Seeking to counter this,
Faria opens up the discussion on the potential social harms arising
from the current state of affairs, and argues that that criminology
should task itself with understanding and researching the pressing
topic of research misconduct, including fabrication, falsification,
and plagiarism, as well as questionable research practices.
