Rough attemp at an introduction:
Scientific misconduct is an accusation levelled at members of the scientific community who have, knowingly or otherwise, undertaken research, or produced results in such a way that ethical questions are raised. Practitioners perceived as being pseudoscientists may also be implicated with scientific misconduct, although the term pseudoscience is often extended to cover areas of alternative medicine and the paranormal whose proponents do not necessarily consider themselves scientists or use the trappings of science. --Christian Steinbach 23:11, 27 January 2007 (CST)
