• Resumen

  • Objetivo. Esta revisión explora temas de interés en el domínio de la integridad en la investigación, destacando la importancia de prácticas responsables y éticas, y reporta sobre la Cientometría Forense, disciplina que emerge de los estudios Métricos de la Información, como un nuevo enfoque estratégico para analizar y mitigar prácticas fraudulentas en la ciencia.

    Método. La investigación es de naturaleza cualitativa exploratoria y se basa en una revisión de la literatura especializada sobre integridad y ética en la investigación. Emplea el método de revisión narrativa para compilar y analizar estudios relevantes que abordan las normas, prácticas y desafíos del campo.

    Resultados. Destaca que aunque existen códigos de conducta establecidos y discusiones crecientes sobre el tema, la plena implementación e internalización de estas directrices siguen siendo desafiantes. Las instituciones, revistas científicas y eventos internacionales desempeñan roles cruciales en la promoción de prácticas responsables.

    Conclusiones. Promover la integridad en la investigación es una responsabilidad compartida que requiere esfuerzos coordinados y acciones integradas. Las instituciones deben crear entornos que fomenten prácticas responsables, mientras que las revistas científicas establecidas buscan cada vez más mejorar sus procesos de revisión por pares.
