Scientific fraud
From Conservapedia
Scientific fraud has always been a problem. People claiming to have discovered something, when they know they really haven't, have fooled many people many times (see history of science). Scientific fraud differs from scientific error, since the researcher knows his finding aren't actually supported by the available evidence.
Major organizations which promote or protect fraud
An AAAS report defines scientific fraud as "including falsification, fabrications, selective use of data, and manipulation of graphs and figures." [1] Ironically, the AAAS is itself guilty of selective use of data and of censoring papers which contradict its public policy positions.
