Scientific Integrity in Educational Research Processes

Abstract

The academic and scientific community must conduct research with the accountability, ethics, truthfulness, integrity, and respect that is necessary. The omission or lack of academic integrity on the part of researchers is influenced by several variables: key abilities, such as those required for finding, choosing, and validating trustworthy sources of information to enable the creation of scientific articles. On the other hand, educational institutions and research-related organizations can have an impact on the development or destruction of academic integrity through a variety of incentive programs for scientific output that support the concept of "publish or perish." They make it quite evident that in the research endeavors of thousands of scholars around the world, academic integrity is simply theoretical and unapplied.
