Abstract

Scientific production by higher education teachers is a necessary task but it can often lead to the development of bad conduct such as plagiarism, therefore, it can be applied with the formation of a research and ethics committee, a place where researchers are advised, managed, guided, supported and instructed in perfecting the document, sending it to a scientific journal and following up on the suggestions or contributions of the evaluators if they have it. Likewise, it is suggested that training and awareness days on good research practices be held in the different institutes, study centers, universities and scientific societies in order to minimize these behaviors that jeopardize the credibility, readability and trust of the community regarding clinical research.
