Ten Simple Rules for Scientific Fraud & Misconduct
Nicolas P. Rougier and John Timmer

We obviously do not encourage scientificfraud nor misconduct. The goal of this
article is to alert the reader to problems that have arisen in part due to the
Publish or Perish imperative, which has driven a number of researchers to cross
the Rubicon without the full appreciation of the consequences. Choosing fraud
will hurt science, end careers, and could have impacts on life outside of the
lab. If you're tempted (even slightly) to beautify your results, keep in mind
that the benefits are probably not worth the risks.
