The discussion of integrity in scientific research has been part of the agenda of many countries, especially those with higher output in science, technology and innovation. This discussion is grounded in the assumption that the growth of science and increasing technological advances should consider ethical demands for conducting research and reporting results in the global arena. In recent decades, cases of scientific misconduct in countries such as the United States, England, Canada, Germany, Japan, among others, led to greater attention to the conduct of research and publication of results.
