When academic studies get things wrong, it is often blamed on misconduct. Yet even good-faith research can produce contradictory conclusions.

The do’s and don’ts of scientific image editing. I think this one paragraph covers about 90% of the queries we get on this kind of stuff. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Many aspects of editing are common sense, says Jana Christopher, an image-integrity analyst at the Federation of European Biochemical Societies, who is based in Heidelberg, Germany. For instance, it’s OK to increase the image’s contrast so that a cell or feature pops out against the background, but the background still has to be visible. Altering brightness or saturation is also acceptable as long as the modification is applied equally across the whole image. Cropping is fine if the process doesn’t remove elements that would change the interpretation of the image — after all, Christopher notes, selecting a particular field of view under the microscope is in itself a form of cropping and selective reporting. “The bottom line is that the images need to represent accurately what was observed experimentally,” she says.
