Scientists may be socially typed as deviant when they engage in scientific misconduct or violate ethical guidelines; this is deviance in science. Secondly, scientists may be considered deviant when they are part of a discipline that is not recognized by the scientific community as being real science; this can be called deviant science. 19th century physicist charles babbage identified several forms of behaviour that are considered deviant in the scientific community. 1. ) forging, which refers to scientists who falsify their data, reporting observations that never really occurred forging is similar to the second form of deviance in science: 3. ) trimming, which means manipulating real observations so that they will support a theory in questions. 4. ) cooking; selectively reporting only that data that supports a theory in question and suppressing or ignoring remaining data.
