Several studies on research misconduct have already explored and discussed its potential
occurrence in universities across diferent countries. However, little is known about this issue
in Spain, a paradigmatic context due to its consolidated scientifc evaluation system, which
relies heavily on metrics. The present article attempts to fll this gap in the literature through
an empirical study undertaken in a specifc university: Universitat Jaume I (Castelló). The
study was based on a survey with closed and open questions; almost half the total population of the university’s researchers participated (505 out of 1030, i.e. 49.03%), yielding a
representative sample of diferent academic career stages and areas of knowledge. Results
show that 71.68% (n=362) of the respondents consider at least one form of misconduct to
be proliferating in their area of knowledge at the national level. This fgure falls to 48.95%
(n=247) in reference to misconduct in their own institution. The most frequently reported
types of misconduct linked to life with colleagues are especially the use of personal infuence (in evaluation or review processes); lax supervision of doctoral theses; and the abuse of
power over people in lower positions. Personal ambitions and pressure from the evaluation
system are regarded as the most infuential causes of misconduct proliferation, according to
academics at this Spanish university [-]
