520    "In the 1970s, a scientific scandal about painted mice hit
       the headlines. A cancer researcher was found to have 
       deliberately falsified his experiments by coloring 
       transplanted mouse skin with ink. This widely publicized 
       case of scientific misconduct marked the beginning of an 
       epidemic of fraud that plagues the scientific community 
       today. From manipulated results and made-up data to 
       retouched illustrations and plagiarism, cases of 
       scientific fraud have skyrocketed in the past two decades,
       especially in the biomedical sciences. Fraud in the Lab 
       examines cases of scientific misconduct around the world 
       and asks why this behavior is so pervasive. Nicolas 
       Chevassus-au-Louis points to large-scale trends that have 
       led to an environment of heightened competition, extreme 
       self-interest, and emphasis on short-term payoffs. Because
       of the move toward highly specialized research, fewer 
       experts are qualified to verify experimental findings. And
       the pace of journal publishing has exacerbated the 
       scientific rewards system--publish or perish holds sway 
       more than ever. Even when instances of misconduct are 
       discovered, researchers often face few consequences, and 
       falsified data may continue to circulate after an article 
       has been retracted. Sharp and damning, this exposé details
       the circumstances that have allowed scientific standards 
       to decline. Fraud in the Lab reveals the intense social 
       pressures that lead to fraud, documents the lasting impact
       it has had on the scientific community, and highlights 
       recent initiatives and proposals to reduce the extent of 
       misconduct in the future."--|cProvided by publisher.
