Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This review is prompted by new Swedish legislation on research misconduct to be in effect as of January 1st, 2020. Approximately 4 out of 10 000 published articles are retracted because of misconduct. Many Asian countries top the list of proportion of articles retracted. In Sweden, more than half of all mass media reports on misconduct concern medical research. The most discussed drivers of misconduct include the incentives by universities and funders with emphasis on competiveness, journal editors' preference for novelty over veracity, and the ethical culture as to research area, country and local institution. For most of fraudsters, detection means an end of their academic career. Victims include co-workers, institutions, patients and science at large. The newly revised European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity may serve as guidance for academic and healthcare organisations that strive to prevent research misconduct.

- Living conditions and life satisfaction before and after stroke were assessed in 80 patients with acute stroke (mean age 73 years). The results were compared with a general elderly population. Already prior to their stroke the patients had more health problems, lower functional ability, more passive leisure time and lower global life satisfaction. Low life satisfaction was associated with dependence in the activities of daily living (ADL). Economic resources, social network and psychiatric morbidity before stroke did not differ from the general elderly population. At 3 months of follow-up, almost half of the patients reported low life satisfaction, compared to only 2% in the national sample. Major depression and ADL dependence were associated with low life satisfaction after stroke. We conclude that much of the disability and handicap seen in stroke patients is present already before the stroke. Stroke-related deterioration of ADL performance, major depression and social disintegration after stroke interact to further reduce life satisfaction for the stroke victims and their families.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Prompted by the Macchiarini research fraud case, an Act on Research Misconduct was introduced in Sweden in January 2020. In accordance with international convention, it defines unlawful research misconduct as “…severe deviation from good research practice in the form of fabrication, falsification or plagiarism.” To qualify as severe, the misconduct must be either intentional or caused by serious neglect. Universities are obliged to report suspected cases for investigation by a newly established governmental agency. The Act does not include regulation of penalties or sanctions. The expected consequences of the Act and its limitations are discussed. The crucial roles of universities and scientific journals in the prevention of misconduct remain, and improved European legislation to protect whistleblowers is described. Future directions in the struggle against research misconduct include use of technical advances to detect data and image manipulation.
