Concerns about research wrongdoing in biomedical research are growing in developing countries, where research ethics training and research regulatory systems are just emerging. In a first-time study in Africa, medical/dental researchers (N = 132) in two states in Nigeria were interviewed on a wide range of research wrongdoings and potential predictors. Using multivariate logistic regression, significant predictors of research wrongdoing were identified. Some 22.0% admitted to at least one of fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism, the predictors of which were knowledge gaps in research ethics and pressure to publish enough papers for promotion. Acknowledging inadequate knowledge of research ethics was a predictor of admitting a wrongdoing. Systems that support ethical research, including skilled training and funding, are recommended.
在发展中国家，对生物医学研究中科研不当行为的担忧日益增加，而这些国家的研究伦理培训和研究监管体系才刚刚起步。在非洲的一项首次研究中，对尼日利亚两个州的132名医学/牙科研究人员就广泛的科研不当行为和潜在预测因素进行了访谈。使用多变量逻辑回归分析，确定了科研不当行为的重要预测因素。约22.0%的人承认至少存在伪造、篡改和剽窃行为之一，其预测因素是研究伦理方面的知识差距以及为晋升发表足够论文的压力。承认对研究伦理知识不足是承认有不当行为的一个预测因素。建议建立支持伦理研究的体系，包括提供专业培训和资金。
