Data Fraud and What to do Next: A conversation with Uri Simonsohn and Maurice Schweitzer

Session Description: In this session Maurice and Uri will discuss recent cases of data fraud in our field. We will take stock of what we know, discuss short-term next steps (e.g., how to deal with 100+ articles involved), and consider longer-term steps we can take to continue trusting one another, while increasing the trustworthiness of our empirical work. They will consider concrete actions advisors, co-authors, and journal editors can take for this purpose.
