It's unusual to watch one of the world's most powerful editors in scientific publishing play with a marionette puppet.

BMJ editor Fiona Godlee takes on corruption in science Fiona-godlee

But Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor of the BMJ, specializes in the unexpected.

The puppet she's holding is dressed as a doctor, complete with a stethoscope around its neck. Its strings represent the hidden hand of the pharmaceutical industry.  

   'I think we have to call it what it is. It is a corruption of the scientific process.'
   -Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor, BMJ

Godlee keeps it on her desk to remind her of the dark forces at work in science and medicine. And she is blunt about the results.

"I think we have to call it what it is. It is the corruption of the scientific process."

There are increasing concerns these days about scientific misconduct. Hundreds of papers are being pulled from the scientific record, for falsified data, for plagiarism, and for a variety of other reasons that are often never explained.

Sometimes it's an honest mistake. But it's estimated that 70 per cent of the retractions are based on some form of scientific misconduct.

"Medicine and science are run by human beings, so there will always be crooks," Godlee says.
