Unethical methods of data manipulation (cont.):

  • Fabrication: Creating data that have not been observed or collected, or that are not supported by experimental results
  • Falsification: Ignoring, modifying, or misreporting relevant data that contradict and/or do not support reported findings

At UNH fabrication and falsification are regarded as acts of scholarly misconduct.
