In the last ten years, the run for having more papers published and have more citations make the researchers do some things that are not ethic, some of this things are:
a) To pay for the preparation of articles or inclusion in finished articles;
b) Publication in various areas of knowledge seeking quantity against quality (when you see the speciality of the researcher its almost every topic);
and
c) Misuse of information collected or generation of information to publish.
What do you think about it? What else have you seen just for have more citations?
Thanks for your comments!
The most important bad practice in the field of research is that many researchers add his name to the list of authors of the research without actually participating in any real effort in the paper
All this testifies to a certain crisis that has swept the scientific community.

Dear Wileidys Artigas ,
Thank you so much for the nice and the important discussion .
I agree entirely with dear Dr Amina and with my dear Dr Andrey .
Best Regards and Respect to you all.
Yes, in the last one decade: misuse of data, Duplicate Publication, Early Release of Information to be published, Authorship Conflict and these leads to unethical practice in research.

the asking for inclussion is quite a normal in these days, I think we all pass for this kind of things. I always said: I mean not only you did not work in preparation, do you have idea about the topic? and end of the conversation... Thanks to Shakir Tuleab for the answer.Andrey Skorobogatov and we have to be prepared to face it...
Rizk Elazhary I invite you to discuss this kind of things in your research group, you will be shocking about some answers...
s.L. Borana We need to discuss more this kind of things, it is not only talk about Ethic, We have to afront the reality and look for Alternative metrics that shows quality instead quantity!
Thanks to all!
I am talking about "bad reasearch collaborations"
Some collaborations were too large, or without a meaningful contribution, and in sometimes collaborators were invited to participate for reasons unrelated to their scientific contribution.
Add my name on your paper, I will add yours on mine! This is happening a lot!
Very interesting discussion. I think researchers need to be aware of this and stop such practices. There is a need to alert!! Thanks Prof!
Diary R. Sulaiman Yeah, thats another bad practices, add an author just for the "name" or the importance in the topic of the paper, I know cases where the author did not even know they were added... In the other hand, if you think the contribution is bad, just ask for a better contribution or talk about it with the research...
Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak Thats pretty used! When I hear that I said: I do not need to be added in a paper, I have mines....
Ilhami Unluoglu I think in the pressure of publishing happens a lot that people just put unfinished data or conclussions to advance...
Difo Voukang Harouna Thanks you for the comment!
Speed in the completion of research and failure to achieve goals accurately
Luaay Abdulwahid Shihab Thanks for comment!
Joshua O. Ighalo Yeah another one! It happens a lot!

عند اضافة اسم باحث لورقة البحث ولم يساهم بأي عمل حقيقي لورقة البحث
Great initiative to discuss this topic....
Thanks mam @Wileidys Artigas....
One more malpractice happens in research paper publication is that some people are publishing same research in different journals jusht by changing the title and language of description to avoid plagiarism..
Avinash Tukaram Panchal Yes! thats another, publishing the same things with different names....
Qasim M. Shakir as I said!
Thanks again!
Hi,
I feel manipulation of data to be a major hazard to original research. Apart from that, authorship being given to a reputed person in the organization to gain citations, rejection by reviewers/editors, due to the lack of brand value/ due to the country of origin of the authors/ because a similar research is in progress in their labs and do not want this research work to get published. Bullying by senior academics, ruining the experiments mid-way through; THese are some bad practices, which I have observed in research.
Navnit Kumar Ramamoorthy Yes, about the reputed person is commonly used because new researchers wants to gain points with that, the problem I think is the reputed researcher that accept and do not explain the ethic process about it... Thanks
Balqees Al-Musawi the problem is that we have to stop this practices and start again with new ones!
Sajda Taha Mahmood Yes, we have to review what we call and article also! thanks
One other surprising practice is that some citations in the body of the work are not included in the reference even in some top journals
Anu Toriola That is an editorial mistake... Is more to charge for editorial work than from the author!
I have been a referee of various journals for a long time (1968-2002). The most frequent bad practices were: publishing the same data in different journals, converting a graph into a table and publishing it again in a different journal, faking some results by modifying the baseline of controls or doing cherry picking of data, doctoring auto-radiography by suppressing disturbing bands or adding a new one, inverting and auto-radiogram and publishing it as a new result. Publishing “new data” by ignoring the same results already published elsewhere by someone else!!! and many others…..
Under stress conditions one of my American colleague wanted to publish his results without repeating them with the appropriate controls. I told him that this was not ethical. His answer was “ If my results happened to be correct I will be famous, if not everybody will forget them”…..In another case one post doc- took the results of one of his colleague to send them as an abstract to a meeting without putting the name of his colleague who did the work!!!!!
Fares F. Fares is a common mistake...
Jean-Pierre Jost Thanks for the important comment as a referee, I invite you to register in Sapientiae http://publicacoes.uor.ed.ao/index.php/sapientiae/index
Sorry for that, it was my careless Wileidys Artigas Christian G Meyer i mean Same paper in different journals .
1, The reviewer asking the author to include the reviewer's work as a reference as a precondition for publication
2. Bogus citations which may have little relevance to the topic being discussed
Very interesting discussion , It is good to ask that it may change the concepts of scientific publishing and raise the level,
How about this guy?
The phony "Doctor" Andrea Rossi has falsified his academic credentials and lied about having working "cold fusion" devices for years, after spending years in prison for fraud.
His current masterpiece on ResearchGate is: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long-range_particle_interactions/comments
This obscure and obtuse nuclear physics paper has somehow become the most widely read paper in the history of ResearchGate (over 30,000 reads), and yet this paper has fewer than 20 comments. It seems like fraud to me.
This goofy paper also has over 200 recommendations, almost all of them from people who have no nuclear physics background whatsoever.
