An overview of different ethical aspects linked to the research and academic publication processes is presented. Some interactions between the components of the research system are described, which can influence in an inappropriate behavior of researchers when carrying out their work and publish their results.

Some of the main consequences of academic fraud are highlighted, and a call upon researchers is made to foster a culture of good academic practices for students during their training.
