Empirical studies have revealed a disturbing prevalence of research
misconduct in a wide variety of disciplines, although not, to date, in the areas
of ethics and philosophy. This study aims to provide empirical evidence on
perceptions of how serious a problem research misconduct is in these two
disciplines in Spain, particularly regarding the effects that the model used to
evaluate academics’ research performance may have on their ethical
behaviour. The methodological triangulation applied in the study combines a
questionnaire, a debate at the annual meeting of scientific association, and
in-depth interviews. Of the 541 questionnaires sent out, 201 responses were
obtained (37.1% of the total sample), with a significant difference in the
participation of researchers in philosophy (30.5%) and in ethics (52.8%); 26
researchers took part in the debate and 14 interviews were conducted. The
questionnaire results reveal that 91.5% of the respondents considered
research misconduct to be on the rise; 63.2% considered at least three of the
fraudulent practices referred to in the study to be commonplace, and 84.1%
identified two or more such practices. The researchers perceived a high
prevalence of duplicate publication (66.5%) and self-plagiarism (59.0%), use
of personal influence (57.5%) and citation manipulation (44.0%), in contrast
to a low perceived incidence of data falsification or fabrication (10.0%). The
debate and the interviews corroborated these data. Researchers associated the
spread of these misconducts with the research evaluation model applied in
Spain. [-]
