English abstract
Visual phenomena are often involved in uncovering scientific fraud. Scientific and lay media report of "four-dimensional" (Flusser) manipulations in labs (Moewus, parapsychology, Beneviste), "three-dimensional" artefacts in archaeology, geology ("Lying Stones", Piltdown, Fujimura) and biology, medicine (Kammerer's ink-injected midwife toad, Summerlin's "painted mice", Illmensee's bluff of cloning mice). Incriminated two-dimensional representations (plagiarism or manipulations of pictures) are said to be fabricated by Ernst Haeckel (embryos), Rene Bonblot ("N-Rays"), German cancer star-researchers, physics shooting star Jan Hendrik Schön, and in the lab of pheromone researcher Heinz Breer. Theft of pictures and bluffs are part of many affairs. Why did peer reviewing of papers submitted for publication not stand the test? Why were many affairs uncovered by examining illustrations - by readers or insiders, but not by the journal referees?
German abstract
Visuelle Phänomene sind oft beim Aufdecken wissenschaftlichen Betrugs involviert. Wissenschaftliche und Massenmedien berichten von "vierdimensionalen" (Flusser) Manipulationen in Laboratorien (Moewus, Parapsychologie, Beneviste), "dreidimensionalen" Artefakten in Archäologie bzw. Geologie ("Lügensteine", Piltdown, Fujimura) und Biologie bzw. Medizin (Kammerers getuschte Geburtshelferkröte, Summerlins bemalte Mäuse, Illmensees Bluff-Klone). Inkriminierte zweidimensionale Repräsentationen (Bildplagiate bzw. -manipulationen) sollen fabriziert worden sein von Ernst Haeckel (Embryos), Rene Bonblot ("N-Strahlen"), deutschen Krebsforscherstars, dem Physik-Star Jan Hendrik Schön und im Labor des Pheromonforschers Heinz Breer. Bildklau und Bluff sind Teil etlicher Affären. Warum hat das Peer Review der Manuskripte versagt? Warum wurden die Affären über die Untersuchung der Illustrationen enttarnt - durch einfache Leser oder Insider, aber nicht durch die Journalgutachter?
