The following events, among many, many others, were reported in the past six weeks by the blog Retraction Watch:

A prominent accounting professor was accused by his university of fabricating data for a journal article on accounting fraud, of all things, and then destroying the evidence stored on his computer. Investigators at Bentley University in Massachusetts said in a report issued July 21 that his “whole body” of work while at Bentley must be considered “suspect” and recommended that academic journals review some 50 of his published papers. His lawyer says he’s innocent but according to investigators, he provided no information to dispute the charges.

The journal PLOS ONE retracted three peer-reviewed bio-chemistry papers, saying that there “are no data available underlying” them and that “the published results are fabricated.”

The Journal of Surgical Research retracted a paper on prostate surgery due to “academic misconduct and data falsification on the part of one of the authors.”

The Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer retracted a paper after discovering the authors plagiarized not one, not two, but five other scholarly articles.

An HIV vaccine researcher formerly employed by Iowa State University and accused of spiking rabbit blood samples to make lab results look better is arrested and charged with fraud, pleading not guilty.

And, of course, the now-infamous Journal of Vibration and Control retracts 60 papers after investigators discover a “ring” run by a scientist that allegedly rigged the peer review process, by which experts review and recommend the work of other experts for publication.

This is but a sample, and just in the past six weeks.
