Dr Gisela Kopp and Dr David Labonte talk to Dr Elisabeth Bik, a
microbiologist turned science integrity consultant. Dr Bik focuses
on the identification of scientific misconduct and fraud in the
academic publishing system. Her work has resulted in hundreds of
retractions and corrections and has attracted considerable
attention, positive from the largest part of the scientific
community; less favourable by some of those affected by her
reports. Besides Dr Bik’s motivation, they discuss the structural
origins of and incentives for fraud, what individuals, institutions
and publishers can and should do better or differently to avoid it,
and its detrimental knock-on effects on the public confidence in
science.
