Abstract

Scientific publication, so necessary to maintain and circulate research work, is immersed in the inflationary pressure that seems toaffect every activity in our contemporary society. More demands on research output, greater dissemination of research work and theneed for personal recognition and promotion are the parameters that seem to determine the work of many scientists, pushing themtowards the slippery slope of fraud. This paper analyzes its causes, nature and dimensions, so as to contribute, if possible, to creatingnew and promising paths towards honest research by the scientists of today and tomorrow.
