Resumen
This article focuses on the academic plagiarism by young researchers and university professors as they are rewarded on the basis of academic publications they produce annually, as well as on the quality of these publications. The quality standards are often determined by the academic ranking of the conference or journal publishing the firm. In the pressure to publish, to proceed up the ladder, or simply to keep a job, young professors may be tempted to cheat their way up through the system. And many of them are able to hide their crime. Faking research data is one option, especially when confidentiality prevents disclosure. Another alternative, apparently pursued by is plagiarizing the published work of others. Choosing a journal in a related field, rather than one in the same field, would likely reduce the chance of an overlap of readership and of being caught. Besides, if one use a paper that's already moved successfully through a review process may increase the likelihood it would be accepted for publication again in another journal.
