  • Systemic Explanations of Scientific Misconduct: Provoked By
    Journal of Academic Ethics https://doi.org/10.1007/s10805-020-09389-8 Systemic Explanations of Scientifc Misconduct: Provoked by Spectacular Cases of Norm Violation? Pieter Huistra1 · Herman Paul2 Accepted: 14 December 2020 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract In the past two decades, individual explanations of scientifc misconduct (‘bad apples’) have increasingly given way to systemic explanations (‘bad systems’). Where did this interest in systemic factors (publication pressure, competition for research funding) come from? Given that research ethicists often present their interventions as responses to scientifc misconduct, this article tests the hypothesis that these systemic explanations were triggered by high-visibility cases of scientifc norm violation. It does so by examining why Dutch scientists in 2011 explained Diederik Stapel’s grand-scale data fabrication largely in systemic terms, whereas only ffteen years earlier, in the René Diekstra afair (1996), such explanations had been close to absent. Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, the article suggests that cases like Stapel’s as such do not explain why early 21st-century commentators exchanged individual explanations for systemic ones. Only against the background of an existing discourse of criticism of the science system, developed in the 1990s and 2000s in response to rapidly increasing competition for research funding, could the Stapel afair achieve notoriety as an example of how systemic factors provoke bad conduct. Keywords Scientifc misconduct · Questionable research practices · Research funding · Research integrity · Diederik Stapel · René Diekstra Introduction When textbooks in research ethics try to situate their feld in history, they typically attrib- ute its emergence, situated in the aftermath of World War II, to a widely shared sense that horrors like human experimentation in the German concentration camps should be prevented from happening ever again.

  • Diederik Stapel's Audacious Academic Fraud
    Diederik Stapel’s Audacious Academic Fraud - NYTimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/magazine/diederik-stapels-audaciou... April 26, 2013 By YUDHIJIT BHATTACHARJEE One summer night in 2011, a tall, 40-something professor named Diederik Stapel stepped out of his elegant brick house in the Dutch city of Tilburg to visit a friend around the corner. It was close to midnight, but his colleague Marcel Zeelenberg had called and texted Stapel that evening to say that he wanted to see him about an urgent matter. The two had known each other since the early ’90s, when they were Ph.D. students at the University of Amsterdam; now both were psychologists at Tilburg University. In 2010, Stapel became dean of the university’s School of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Zeelenberg head of the social psychology department. Stapel and his wife, Marcelle, had supported Zeelenberg through a difficult divorce a few years earlier. As he approached Zeelenberg’s door, Stapel wondered if his colleague was having problems with his new girlfriend. Zeelenberg, a stocky man with a shaved head, led Stapel into his living room. “What’s up?” Stapel asked, settling onto a couch. Two graduate students had made an accusation, Zeelenberg explained. His eyes began to fill with tears. “They suspect you have been committing research fraud.” Stapel was an academic star in the Netherlands and abroad, the author of several well-regarded studies on human attitudes and behavior. That spring, he published a widely publicized study in Science about an experiment done at the Utrecht train station showing that a trash-filled environment tended to bring out racist tendencies in individuals.

    The Stapel Case: An Object Lesson in Research Integrity and Its Lapses John M. Budd1 1. School of Information Science & Learning Technologies, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, Email: [email protected]. Abstract In 2011 the works of Diederik Stapel came under suspicion. It was thought that he was fabricat- ing and/or falsifying data and publishing the false results. The investigation was far-reaching and involved the three Dutch universities at which he worked. All of his published articles were ex- amined carefully; to date (September 13, 2013), fifty-four of the articles have been retracted. The present study investigates the scope of citations to the articles he published from 1998 through 2006. These years mark the middle stage of his research and publication record, and they provide ample time for the examination of citations to his articles. The numbers and nature of the citations (positive or acknowledging problems) are reported, and the implications of the acceptance of his work are explored. Keywords: Stapel, citations, scientific misconduct, social psychology, RCR (responsible conduct of research) Introduction scholarly communication, reports, “Last year, an audit by the US Government Accountability Office found ‘a Concern about the honesty and integrity of scholarship potential for unnecessary duplication’ among the billions and publication has been increasing in recent years, and of dollars in research grants funded by national agencies. with good cause.
