Scientific fraud, an act of deception or misrepresentation of one's own work, which violates ethical standards. It can take the form of plagiarism or falsification of data etc. Scientific fraud has been attributed to attain high levels of personal or professional success for example those who are in a search for promotion, status or to obtain research grants. Anomalous events can be investigated within the study of collective behaviour, religion, the afterlife etc. The use of these paradigms would reduce problems associated with sceptical attacks, low rates of replicability, and experimenter effects.
