Pendant plus de 10 ans, Diederik Stapel a inventé les réponses aux questionnaires qu'il était censé faire remplir par des participants à ses enquêtes. Les conclusions de ses études, basées sur des résultats créés de toutes pièces, avaient été publiées dans des revues scientifiques dont certaines très renommées[1].

À la suite de la découverte de sa fraude, 58 de ses publications ont été rétractées.

Le jour de la sortie du rapport qui statue sur sa fraude en novembre 2012, il publie un livre autobiographique, Ontsporing, racontant notamment comment il en est arrivé à mentir sur sa recherche. Le livre est intitulé Derailment ou Faking Science: A True Story of Academic Fraud en anglais[2], et n'est pas traduit en français. Le dernier chapitre de ce livre contient des phrases plagiées aux auteurs Raymond Carver et James Joyce[3],[4].
