ABSTRACT
Foundation: For guiding efforts and strategies to achieve responsible research behavior, it is of utmost importance to know the state of established researcher’s opinion, so that they can clarify how they see themselves and how they perceive the context in which they perform.Objective: to characterize the perception of Peruvian universities professors regarding the responsible behavior in research.
Methods: descriptive, exploratory study, which included 70 university professors, belonging to the respective chairs of research methodology in three universities in Peru. Based on the variable responsible behavior in research, three dimensions were established (conceptual, personal, institutional), with their corresponding indicators; and from these, in turn, questions from a survey were derived.
Results: in the conceptual dimension, there was little knowledge about situations of non-responsible behavior in research in 64.29% of the professors surveyed. Only in 28.6% show that they are individually responsible. Regarding the role of educational institutions in general, the vast majority, 58.6%, expressed that they show some interest in the topic.
Conclusion: Peruvian universities professors perceive responsible behavior in research as moderately favorable. In their individual practice, most do not comply with all of the basic ethical principles when investigating. Regarding the role of the university, the prevailing criterion was that it does not show all the interest it should.
