Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, F
Editors of journals have a major role in monitoring and preventing research misconduct in the published literature. Friedman identified criteria for classifying a publication as fraudulent, questionable, or valid. According to these criteria, research articles were classified as fraudulent if there was documentation or testimony from coauthors that the publication did not reflect what had actually been done. Articles were questionable if no coauthor could produce the original data or if no coauthor had personally observed or performed each phase of the research or participation. A research article was considered valid if some coauthor had personally performed or participated in each aspect of the research and publication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Triangulation is the combined use of two or more theories, methods, data sources, investigators, or analysis methods in the study of the same phenomenon. Five types of triangulation are proposed: (1) data triangulation, (2) investigator triangulation, (3) theoretical triangulation, (4) methodological triangulation, and (5) analysis triangulation. Multiple triangulation is the combination of more than one of these types. In the example, methodological triangulation should be used in the study of the research problem. Triangulation is used to ensure that the most comprehensive approach is taken to solve a research problem.
