Resumen

TUDELA, Julio  y  AZNAR, Justo. PUBLISH OR PERISH? FRAUD IN RESEARCH AND SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS. pers.bioét. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.1, pp.12-27. ISSN 0123-3122.

Scientific publication, so necessary to maintain and circulate research work, is immersed in the inflationary pressure that seems to affect every activity in our contemporary society. More demands on research output, greater dissemination of research work and the need for personal recognition and promotion are the parameters that seem to determine the work of many scientists, pushing them towards the slippery slope of fraud. This paper analyzes its causes, nature and dimensions, so as to contribute, if possible, to creating new and promising paths towards honest research by the scientists of today and tomorrow.

Palabras clave : Research; scientific publication ethics; fraud; plagiarism; conflict of interest; review; retraction of publication.
