Explaining research misconduct: data, hypotheses, and methodological issues
Conférence internationale
The purpose of this interdisciplinary conference is to discuss analyses of research integrity violations across scientific fields. It is open to the different approaches from scholarly fields that analyze science, such as the philosophy, epistemology, sociology, psychology, or economics of science, and to all kinds of scientific methods, be they conceptual, empirical, qualitative, or formal. The conference is organized within the framework of the CRISP research project, which is funded by the ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche, Projet-ANR-20-CE27-0016). We are also grateful to the Poincaré Archives and to the Knowledge, Language, Communications & Societies (CLCS) Science Cluster from Lorraine University for their financial support.
