Useful book that any starting professor should understand, even if they don't want to admit they are playing a game. science-by-press-release is a technique to master if you want to both maximize the impact of your work, and get tenure.

Depends on what you define as "fabrication". Most scientists tweak things around to suit theories to look like facts, rather than deriving theories from facts.
Winning the Games Scientists Play is a nice book [1] delves into this issue in some detail.

I had the same curiosity when I started graduate studies. This book helped a lot, it goes through this and many other academic/technical issues, giving a good insight on the "non-spoken" rules of the game and how scientists actually think. It was some kind of an underground classic at the time I went through it (earlier edition) and a very light and entertaining read.
