As you see from obokata issue , she lacks the sense of ethics research , Manipulatingthe data and images from other articles and experiments and used them in herarticles is not accepted behavior from a scientist researcher.
so people mustbe awareness on ethics of research from misconduct ( fabrication, falsification, plagiarism) and learn from this misconduct if occurs , and every one must be responsible of her / hisown research, and should be admission of this scientific guilt , and gives apologistfrom this misconduct to give highest ethical standards. In my opinion maybe there’s many reasons that’s lead obokatato this level of misconduct . she has spent long hours in her experiment, growing, manipulating and testing cellsin differents way, and she sense withevery hypothesis there’s a hunch in mind and he has strong sense about what sheexpected .
and she really want to prove that her sense or lunch is right, that the money was invested into herwork was well spent, she want to get ahead in competitive field, with theintense pressure. But she has got her results and was surprised that herresults are disappointing, And she need to do like something a littlecreatively. And when she get rid of the original data, But once she startfiddling with the facts, it’s hard to stop. In part, that’s because she thought howeasy it is to fool her colleagues.
Alsoshe has enjoyed their admiration and shewant be have a chance to published her research , Maybe this reasons pushesobokata to this misconduct. to Maintaining thehighest ethical standards they should investigate the research , and take it seriously , so they did what they had to do toscientific misconduct , As we can see what the journal did about obokata 2 papersafter scientific misconduct, they deal withthe issue by investigating the papers by themselves, nature journal wasprovided with details of ricken investigation . and evaluate whether theevidence available supports the main conclusions of the paper , And then decideto withdrawal 2 papers.
