“…26 In Peru, Salinas and Mayta-Tristan reported a case of duplication in a Peruvian journal; 27 and Rojas-Revoredo et al have detected a case of plagiarism. 28 Significant efforts should be made to educate authors, particularly young academicians, to avoid the practice of duplicate publication. 22,27 One limitation of the study is that we studied only the theses at one private university in Peru.…”

Background: Many medical schools require a student thesis before graduation. Publishing results in a peer-reviewed journal could be an indicator of scientific value and acceptability by the scientific community. The publication pattern of theses published by medical students in Peru is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics and publication pattern of theses in biomedical-indexed journals conducted by medical students in a university with the highest research output in Peru. Methods: Data from registered theses between 2000 and 2003 were obtained from the university library. Publication of theses in biomedical journals was assessed in 2008 by a search strategy using PubMed, Google Scholar, LILACS, LIPECS and SciELO. Results: Four hundred and eighty-two medical theses were registered between 2000 and 2003; 85 (17.6%) were published in biomedical-indexed journals. Of the published theses, 28 (5.8%) were published in MEDLINE-indexed journals, 55 (11.4%) in SciELO-indexed journals, 61 (12.6%) in LILACS-indexed journals and 68 (14.1%) in LIPECS-indexed journals. Most of the published theses (80%) were in Spanish and published in Peruvian journals; and 17 theses (20%) were published in foreign journals (all of them indexed in MEDLINE). In addition, 37 (43.5%) belong primarily to internal medicine, and 24 (28.2%) belong primarily to infectious diseases. Medical students were first authors in 71 (83.5%) of the articles. Conclusion: In this study, most of the published theses were in Spanish, published in local journals and indexed in LIPECS. The percentage of published theses in biomedical journals at this university is comparable with others coming from developed countries.

“…); en menor medida de fuentes científicas. Esto debería contribuir a que la detección sea más sencilla (10) , pues existen diversos recursos de auxilio docente para la detección de copia, tales como programas virtuales de búsqueda que detectan copia textual o parafraseo siendo estos más especializados (14) , pero en nuestro medio aún no están disponibles para los docentes; otros más sencillos son los motores de búsqueda en la web debiendo copiar y pegar frases en búsqueda de fraude (9) . Independientemente del recurso empleado, es necesario generar la política o cultura docente de búsqueda de estas infracciones, enfrentando el problema y previniendo su continuidad (11,13) .…”

“…Sólo se consideró copia al que se detectó en idioma español. El sistema de búsqueda e identificación de 'copia' es similar al desarrollado para la búsqueda e identificación de plagio en las publicaciones científicas (9) (Tabla 1). Finalmente, en la tercera etapa se describió el número de oraciones copiadas y su proporción entre el total de oraciones con lo que se diferenció en tres formas de copia electrónica: con copia literal, con copia parcial, o mixta (oraciones con copia literal y parcial).…”

“…Los docentes y revisores tienden a esperar que los manuscritos que se reciban estén exentos de fraude y hechos honestamente (3) , esto a pesar que el hábito de plagiar no es nuevo (7) ; de otro lado, el impacto de la informática ha sido favorable en las ciencias médicas gracias a la difusión de revistas científicas de libre acceso (6,8) , pero la aparición de empresas virtuales que asisten a la copia, contando con material de diversas temáticas, ha hecho del 'copiar y pegar' una técnica sistemática (7) .

Si bien esta conducta ha sido descrita y abordada de diversas maneras en Europa y Norteamérica (5)(6) , en Latinoamérica, sobre todo en Perú, aún son pocos los informes sobre plagio en la elaboración de investigaciones durante el pregrado (9) , y no se ha trabajado en el desarrollo de recursos para identificar este tipo de infracciones de manera sistemática por parte de las entidades docentes.…”

Plagiarism, Cheating and Research Integrity: Case Studies from a Masters Program in Peru

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Plagiarism is a serious, yet widespread type of research misconduct, and is often neglected in developing countries. Despite its far-reaching implications, plagiarism is poorly acknowledged and discussed in the academic setting, and insufficient evidence exists in Latin America and developing countries to inform the development of preventive strategies. In this context, we present a longitudinal case study of seven instances of plagiarism and cheating arising in four consecutive classes (2011–2014) of an Epidemiology Masters program in Lima, Peru, and describes the implementation and outcomes of a multifaceted, “zero-tolerance” policy aimed at introducing research integrity. Two cases involved cheating in graded assignments, and five cases correspond to plagiarism in the thesis protocol. Cases revealed poor awareness of high tolerance to plagiarism, poor academic performance, and widespread writing deficiencies, compensated with patchwriting and copy-pasting. Depending on the events’ severity, penalties included course failure (6/7) and separation from the program (3/7). Students at fault did not engage in further plagiarism. Between 2011 and 2013, the Masters program sequentially introduced a preventive policy consisting of: (i) intensified research integrity and scientific writing education, (ii) a stepwise, cumulative writing process; (iii) honor codes; (iv) active search for plagiarism in all academic products; and (v) a “zero-tolerance” policy in response to documented cases. No cases were detected in 2014. In conclusion, plagiarism seems to be widespread in resource-limited settings and a greater response with educational and zero-tolerance components is needed to prevent it.
