Medicine Research: Intimidation Tactics Used Against Researchers in Health Science
Health Research: A Study on Intimidation Tactics
New research from the University of Bath shows that researchers in the tobacco, ultra-processed food (UPF), and alcohol sectors are frequently targeted with identical intimidation tactics. The most common tactics reported include threats, harassment, and strategic delays designed to suppress scientific findings.
Key Findings in Health Science
- Threats of funding withdrawal
- Harassment through social media
- Difficulties in publishing research
Such behavior not only undermines the integrity of health science but also places significant pressure on those involved in medicine research. Researchers are urged to report these acts to uphold ethical standards in scientific inquiry.
