In Chapter 4, I discussed the nature of questionable research practices (QRPs) and fraud within academia generally. Now it is time to turn attention closer to home. To do so I look at retractions within management studies, analyse the reasons provided for them, and consider what they imply about the overall state of our research. I also draw on interview data from four editors who had retracted papers, and two co-authors of papers retracted because of fraud perpetrated by another author. To encourage candour, the confidentiality of the editors and co-authors has been maintained. This was important because if the editors’ identities were known, so would the retractions they discuss, and authors’ identities would then be revealed. This could raise legal issues, and would certainly have inhibited the interviewees. Co-authors had similar concerns. In addition, I interviewed a former academic guilty of research fraud. He is Diederik Stapel, mentioned briefly in Chapter 4. His fifty-eight retractions include three in management journals. Given the intense scrutiny of Stapel’s activities, and his authorship of a freely-available online book detailing his actions, issues of confidentiality do not arise.
