Abstract

Nowadays, more and more people want to publish their research, which has led to an increase in incorrect practices related to ethics and are called scientific misconduct. This paper aims to characterize the fundamental manifestations of misconduct in scientific research and the ways to combat them, for this purpose a search of bibliographies in databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and SciELO was carried out, where the search strategies used were: ethics in scientific publication, plagiarism and scientific misconduct, publications in Spanish and English were considered, using 18 references. Finally, it was determined that the main ethical misconduct in scientific publications include invention, falsification, plagiarism, etc. and that the best way to combat them is to resort to formative evaluation at different levels of undergraduate and graduate studies
