Abstract

In today’s world, evil appears to be all pervading. Medical publication is no exception. Scientific misconduct in medical writing is slowly becoming a global concern, especially over the last few decades. While the occurrence of such events is certainly rare, every researcher and reader should be aware of this entity. The researcher should ensure that no inadvertent error is construed as misconduct, and should take every effort to guard against it, and the reader should have a critical eye for the same. This article looks into various aspects of scientific misconduct and encourages awareness regarding the same.
