AbstractThis paper argues for a novel account of deceitful scientific communication, as "wishful speaking". This concept is of relevance both to philosophy of science and to discussions of the ethics of lying and misleading. Section 1 outlines a case-study of "ghost-managed" research. Section 2 introduces the concept of "wishful speaking" and shows how it relates to other forms of misleading communication. Sections 3–5 consider some complications raised by the example of pharmaceutical research; concerning the ethics of silence; how research strategies—as well as the communication of results—may be misleading; and questions of multiple authorship. The conclusion suggests some more general conclusions.
