"The exposure of one of the biggest scientific frauds in recent memory
didn’t start with concerns about normally distributed data, or the
test-retest reliability of feelings thermometers, or anonymous Stata
output on shady message boards, or any of the other statistically
complex details that would make it such a bizarre and explosive scandal.
Rather, it started in the most unremarkable way possible: with a
graduate student trying to figure out a money issue."
Interesting article on the difficulty of dealing with research fraud.
