YOUR BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO CHEAT AND PUT YOUR NAME ON EVERY PAPER (7 February 2024)

Description

One of the biggest cases of academic misconduct in recent times has been the case involving Francesca Gino, Dan Ariely, and Max Bazerman. Is there anything we can learn from this case and how it was handled? Nick and Jan are back from the winter break and dig straight into questionable research practices, whistleblowers, senior co-authors and what we as a field should be doing to prevent fraud to undermine our research contributions.
