two blurbs on science abuse/ethics

Two things: First, the International Herald Tribune has an editorial entitled Warning! Rising levels of science abuse.

Second, the The Scientist has a white paper entitled Promoting Integrity in Science Journals. In it, they try to establish clear roles for authors, reviewers, sponsors, and other people in the scientific publication process. They also attempt to suggest ways for editors to deal with allegations of misconduct and to correct the literature.
