Medical physics can be one of the most rewarding applications of physics in day-to-day society's life. Hence, translational research in this particular field attracts a lot of interest given its potential impact on the delivery of patient care. The credibility of scientific discoveries and research outcomes reported in the scientific literature is driven by confidence in the integrity of scientists performing this research. However, scientific misconduct often blackens the image of scientific research and negatively impacts the faith society has in science.
