Snow (1960), \u003ci\u003eCantor’s Dilemma \u003c\/i\u003eby Carl Djerassi (1989), \u003ci\u003ePerlmann’s Silence \u003c\/i\u003eby Pascal Mercier (1995), \u003ci\u003eIntuition \u003c\/i\u003eby Allegra Goodman (2006),  \u003ci\u003eSolar \u003c\/i\u003eby Ian McEwan (2010) and \u003ci\u003eDerailment \u003c\/i\u003eby Diederik Stapel (2012). Scientific misconduct, i.e. fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, but also other questionable research practices, have become a  focus of concern for academic communities worldwide, but also for managers, funders and publishers of research. The aforementioned novels offer intriguing windows into integrity challenges emerging in contemporary research practices. They are analysed from a continental philosophical perspective,  providing a stage where various voices, positions and modes of discourse are mutually exposed to one another, so that they critically address and question one another. They force us to start from the admission that we do not really know what misconduct is. Subsequently, by providing case histories of misconduct, they address integrity challenges not only in terms of individual deviance but also in terms of systemic crisis, due to current transformations in the ways in which knowledge is produced. Rather than functioning as moral vignettes, the author argues that misconduct novels challenge us to reconsider some of the basic conceptual building blocks of integrity discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcept where otherwise noted, this book is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
