"We believe that many more Gino-authored papers contain fake data," the Data Colada professors wrote.
Data Colada found that the raw data showed clear anomalies, such as a distribution infinitely more likely to be produced by a random-number generator than actual people.
Soon after, Data Colada ran an article alleging that Gino tampered with data in at least one of her honesty-pledge experiments.
A post on Data Colada or a tweet from Brown is like a bomb going off in the behavioral-science world.
Others who attempted to build on Gino's studies are grappling with having wasted time, money, and energy.
