      The subjects were the editors and reviewers of the journals he targeted and more broadly their audiences. He engaged them in his fraud to prove something we already know - peer review doesn’t detect fraud. He wasted their time, violated privacy and subjected them to ridicule.

      Further the use of deception in a study is fraught, there was no mechanism to reimburse these people for their time or work, or to improve their peer review process. It’s using the machanisms of science for ideological ax-grinding.

      So in an attempt to show academic research is done poorly, he designed an unethical study, did not perform the standard task of IRB evaluation, and was busted midway through when his fraud was detected and the subjects became angry he was trying to contaminate their work.

      Real academics know if you want to do anything with people as a part of a study, even a survey, or a noninvasive ultrasound you need to seek IRB approval or waiver. You need to protect privacy. The design has to be peer reviewed and safety mechanisms evaluated. This was sloppy.

      And that presumes consent. Here there was no consent. There was deception. There was no mechanism for improvement but public shaming. There was no benefit to the subjects. There was no external review. There were no privacy protections. This was deeply unethical.

      Calling this whistleblowing is a stretch. He was gathering data for a mass public shaming. Maybe deserved, but his structure was unethical, not vetted by IRB and dangerous to the entire university mission. Its hard to describe how little a sense of humor the feds have about this.

      And rightly so. The feds SHOULDN'T have a sense of humor about this, nor should any IRB or any university human subjects research compliance officer.
