The question

Is the income earned from my master's and doctoral degrees, which relied on research in which laboratory analysis results were intentionally altered to align with the study's objectives and the researcher's experience, considered unlawful, knowing that this research was published, peer-reviewed, and praised by specialists?

The answer

Changing laboratory results in scientific research is considered blameworthy deception and falsehood, both religiously and rationally. One must repent and seek forgiveness for such actions. As for working with a master's or doctoral degree in the future, the salary earned from it is lawful if the work itself is permissible, the person is competent, and performs it as required.
