ABSTRACT

The publication in scientific journals is the most accepted way to validate an investigation because it undergoes a rigorous process of review by experts, who decide between the publishable and the non-publishable in order to guarantee the quality of the works. In spite of this, misconceptions about ethics are frequently encountered during publication, which are known as scientific misconduct. The manifestations of scientific misconduct range from scientific fraud to a variety of misconduct that are committed in the publishing process. Scientific fraud includes invention, counterfeiting and plagiarism. Faults in the publishing process include fictitious authorship, ghostwriting, duplicate publication, fragmented publication or salami publication, inflated publication, self-plagiarism, incorrect bibliographic citations, publication biases, and early publication.
