Abstract
The prevalence of fraudulent research behaviours amongst academics and researchers is examined in this paper. The paper x-rays the relevance of ethical norms in research endeavours pointing out its roles in the protection of intellectual property interests while improving collaborations amongst and between researchers. It highlights that the desire to have evidence match the preconceived notions of researchers; plagiarism; publish or perish syndrome and the undue influences of research sponsors as some of the factors implicated in misconduct. The paper recommends that research ethics seminars/workshops should be organized to help academics get a better understanding of these issues, sensitize them on how to make some ethical judgments • and decision making.
