competitiveness

excluding inconvenient data “based on a gut feeling”
Researchers want their articles to be published, thus they tamper with their data so that they will obtain more seemingly substantial or interesting results, allowing them to make it to the front page. The real results are not presented, often because there is a piece of information that is very out of place.

negligence

researchers have a nonchalant attitude towards finding the truth.
