Honesty Expert Francesca Gino Accused of Fraud
Francesco Gino, a leading scholar on honesty and a behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School, has been accused of fabricating data in multiple studies by three peers in behavioral science. The trio has found evidence of bogus data in four studies and believes that many more Gino-authored papers contain fake data. Gino is now on administrative leave and has not commented on the controversy. The controversy has rocked the academic world of behavioral science because Gino has many collaborators and is a leading scholar in the field.
