"Bazerman's story is candid, personal, and captivating. It is rare to see such an unflinching and honest account of scientific misconduct from someone very close to the events. Bazerman also captures the turmoil and revolution that rocked psychology, including stories from the front lines." --Simine Vazire, Professor of Ethics and Wellbeing, University of Melbourne "In this gripping, and at times autobiographical, quest for truth, Bazerman, a leading social scientist, reminds us that research integrity cannot be taken for granted but must be built into our practices and procedures." --Iris Bohnet, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government, Harvard Kennedy School; co-author of Make Work Fair "Riveting and powerful, Bazerman's story reveals how easy it is to miss the signs of a colleague's fraud. Packed with reflection and evidence-based suggestions for improving existing systems, Inside an Academic Scandal forces you to confront the uncomfortable reality that trust is not always warranted." --Katy Milkman, James G. Dinan Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania; author of How to Change "It is rare to get a first-person account of the experience and aftermath of being associated with academic fraud.
It is unheard of to get an account that is as transparent, reflective, and impactful as this book." --Brian Nosek, Executive Director, Center for Open Science, and Professor, University of Virginia "A candid and deeply personal look at back-to-back research scandals that rocked academia. Max Bazerman courageously steps forward to provide both the insider's investigation and expert's perspective that only he can provide. The resulting reflection is timely and gripping." --Dolly Chugh, Professor, NYU Stern School of Business; author of The Person You Mean to Be and A More Just Future "Bazerman gives a gripping account of how ignoring warning signs in a colleague's work led to his getting embroiled in a high-profile case of research misconduct. A must-read for all researchers interested in integrity issues." --Dorothy Bishop, Emeritus Professor of Developmental Neuropsychology, University of Oxford; co-author of Evaluating What Works "When the inherent processes of scientific self-correction will not do the job, a courageous path to correction is called for: that of a scientist publicly calling out the corruption of peers, including beloved teachers and students. This rare correction is on full display here, and for Bazerman's intrepid divulgence we must be collectively grateful.
