When prosecutors put together their case at trial (at least in the US) they have a legal duty to share all evidence, including potentially exculpatory evidence, with the defense. When you sell your house or take a company public, there is a legal requirement to reveal major known problems to potential buyers. Of course, there are strong incentives not to share this information, but when people fail on this it is considered by all to be fraud.
I would have thought the same standard exists in scientific research, ie one has an ethical obligation to reveal data or experiments that do not confirm one’s underlying hypothesis or may potentially cast some doubt on the results. After all, we are after truth, right?
