N2 - The etymology and meaning of the word hoax is clarified. Hoaxes in politics
and in science are mentioned. Following the progress in information technology
the nature of hoaxes in the science is changing and fraud arising from the limited
means of control disapperas. Nevertheless, new problem appears – it is connected
with the extension of experimental research and the quantity of studied materials and
structures. In that case published results cannot be examined independently. Therefore
new reproducibility initiatives, esp. in biomedicine and nanoscience, are issued. Also
a complex approach combining experiment, theory, computations and simulations is
required.
