English abstract
In 2006 Hwang's fraudulent papers published in Science on stem cell research re-opened the debate on scientific misconduct. Taking this as a starting point, some reflections are put forward on the dimension of fraud in science. The singularity of Hwang's case, due to its scientific, social and media impact, is examined as a consequence of the persuasion mechanisms systematised in the so-called Routes of Scholarly Lying. Furthermore, the reasons for publishing fraudulent research, the inefficiency of peer review for detecting it, and the various mechanisms for managing and eradicating it, are presented.
Spanish abstract
En 2006 el fraude cometido por Hwang en dos trabajos publicados en Science acerca de la investigación sobre células madre (stem cells) volvió a abrir el debate sobre las prácticas deshonestas en el mundo de la ciencia. A partir del mismo se reflexiona sobre las dimensiones del fraude en la ciencia y se analiza la singularidad del caso Hwang por su impacto científico, social y mediático como consecuencia de los mecanismos de persuasión sistematizados en la denominada Rutas de la mentira científica. Asimismo, se presentan las causas que conducen a la publicación de investigaciones fraudulentas, la ineficacia del arbitraje científico para detectarlas y los diversos mecanismos existentes para su gestión y erradicación.
