“of fabricating data, selectively and surreptitiouslydiscarding unwanted results, of the deliberately misleadinguse of statistical methods, consciously distortedinterpretation of the conclusions, plagiarism of others'results or publications, and deliberate misrepresentation ofothers' results.”
“Objectively speaking, the publication of the work underconsideration is deemed to fall within the concept ofscientific dishonesty.”
