When I was a graduate student, I was an RA for a really awful advisor. In order to avoid having to do more work than was already assigned to me, I fabricated portions of data analysis. In hindsight I've often wondered how many projects have similarly been sabotaged.
I conducted data fraud on an NSF funded project as an RA

J/e/s/usssss. If this is real you seriously have issues.
Why? My advisor was a total nutcase. It was either fabricate analysis or do way more work than was contractually appropriate. I lose no sleep over this.If that is the way you think then you should be in a different career. The fact that you think those are the only two options says a lot about you.

YOU ARE LUCKY YOU DONUT COME FROM MY COUNTRY THEY GIVE D/E/A/T/HH PENALTIES FOR THIS OFFEND. I NEVER FABRIC DATA ALL MY EXPERIENCE WITH HEAVY GLANDULARS AMERICAN INSULT MY MIDDLE EAST UPBRONGING. THEY ALL HAPPEN. IT NO FUN EXPERIENCE BUT I GET MANY GOOD JOURNALISM PAPE3RS FROM IT.

- HABEEB AL-BACHOLike Habeeb, I have published many papers in top journals by explaining phenomena in terms of white supremacy.
However, I live in constant fear, since in one research project, analyzing the influence of white supremacy on pigeon ownership among hipsters, I could not get the data on either pigeons or hipness to cohere into a recognizable pattern with the data on white supremacy.
In desperation, I added a whole lot of extra false respondents coded as "number of pigeons, 10>" "ironicalness of moustache, 100/100" "commitment to white supremacy, 10/10."
Of course, when I ran the regressions, the stars filled the sky. I pasted the table into the document that had caused me such agony, typed "Pigeon hipsters are a product and a sustainer of white supremacy," sent it off to a journal you all know the name of, and finally got some sleep.By the time I woke up, the journal had of course accepted the paper. And now I live in fear of the day it will be published, knowing that the kinds of colleagues who replicate papers (those who uphold white supremacy) could discover my indiscretion at any moment.
Scholar-activism is a stressful affair.

Yes, we are the losers. Coming from the guy who posts a confessional about committing research fraud to SJMR and then gets defensive when someone says that is g/r/o/s/s.
Keep doing you.I'm not defensive at all. You're getting defensive on behalf of some ephemeral ethics battle you're fighting. Let me reiterate: I don't care about the fraud that I committed because it allowed me to deprioritize someone else's work in favor of my own which actually helped land me my job. I also don't care that some anonymous l0ser is Hank Hill "Bwaaaah"'ing at me on SJMR lol.

Wanted to find comfort in other people confessing doing the same thing but that didn't happen so must not care anymore isn't that obvious ...
