    Scientific misconduct (in this context: all kinds of scientific fraud), discontentment with peer review and quantitative evaluation are growing concerns. An integrative research perspective on these topics is lacking. Currently, empirical studies and theoretical analyses are scattered, too narrow and focus on one of these topics only. For instance, the focus on heavy fraud makes it likely to create scapegoats while neglecting the conditions for other types of misconduct. Why did peer review not prevent the uncovered affairs? Why are manipulated papers be found in high impact journals and often cited, even after retraction? An integrative perspective should bring together social studies of science and research ethics and focus on improving formal and informal scholarly and scientific communication.
