Abstract EN
There is a spurt of interest in research productivity in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to lay the foundation for national development.
From a global perspective, increased research productivity could conceivably be accompanied by an exponential increase in research misconduct (RM).
Inevitably, erroneous or falsified data will be expected to adversely affect public health by misleading policy makers and clinicians alike into embarking on health policy and allocation of resources that are byproducts of RM.
This will contribute significantly to the emerging crisis of confidence of the public in the integrity of scientific research.
For a long time, RM has been considered only as plagiarism or data fabrication and falsification.
However, the concept of RM nowadays encompasses more and, in this review, we discuss its possible implications in emerging economies, such as those of the GCC countries.
We suggest that GCC countries ought to consider implementing remedial and punitive policies to deal with RM.
