(2013) In Kungl. vitterhets historie och antikvitetsakademien. Konferenser 81.- Abstract
- There is empirical evidence indicating that trust in research is decreasing. If distrust is justified, this is a good thing; if not, it is a cause of concern. A basic question concerns the reasons for, ant the causes of, distrust. Which are they, what do they mean, and how reliable are they?

The book contains essays by an international group of researchers. Some contributions discuss more general questions as what can be learnt from the history...

Other contributions discuss more specific issues such as publication for sale, ghostwriting, and "Spin", and the role of media. (Less)
