• Public health is perhaps most at stake when
medical research is found to be falsified or
fabricated.
• A 2011 article in The Journal of Medical Ethics
reviewed ~200 papers that were retracted due to
questionable data the published research was
tied to 28,000 patients, 6,573 of whom

JMBE Profiles with Kari Wester is an interview series that highlights the volunteers that comprise the Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education (JMBE) Editorial Board, the authors who contribute their work, and the education innovations that bring them together.
In this third episode of the series, Kari sits down with ASM's Publishing Ethics Manager, Erika Davies, to discuss the importance of scientific ethics, responsible conduct of research, and trends in research misconduct. Kari and Erika also discuss resources to help educate members and non-members alike about the importance of scientific integrity. The ASM resources mentioned, including JMBE’s Scientific Ethics section and ASM Press’ "Scientific Integrity" (4th Ed.) textbook and "Perspectives on Research Integrity" monograph, can all be found on ASMscience.org.
