Abstract

Background. Misconduct in sport science research is a detrimental practice, as it affects data reliability and decreases the validity of all research in the long run. Objectives. The objective of this narrative review is to identify the main problems of misconduct in sport science research and point out effective prevention methods. Methods. A literature search was undertaken in "Web of Science" and "PUBMED" databases, where several terms identified a priori and related to Boolean operators were combined, resulting in a total of 181 records and 19 documents found by cross-references that were subsequently selected. Results. As a result, we found that most abusive behavior consists of results fabrication, manipulation, and plagiarism. It is noted that, in modern times, there is more pressure on data publication, also, easy Internet access seems to have increased misconduct behaviors. Meanwhile, there are several studies focused on identifying misconduct and ensure research validity, such as students/professors' characteristics; analysis of academic and national procedures; action procedures, and strategies when identified abusive behavior. Conclusion. The present investigation has relapsed a lot on the identification of profiles of researchers who carry out misconduct and have used mostly one methodology, in this case, questionnaires, of which one can question the validity of the answers given due to the susceptibility of the subject itself. Therefore, we believe that the focus of the investigation to solve this problem must be changed and who can answer the following question: how can we identify data manipulation, fabrication, or falsification during its collection or treatment?

对体育科研不端行为的认识

背景。体育科学研究中的不端行为是一种有害的做法，因为它会影响数据的可靠性，从长远来看会降低所有研究的有效性。目标。本文的目的是找出体育科学研究中不端行为的主要问题，并指出有效的预防方法。方法。在“Web of Science”和“PUBMED”数据库中进行文献检索，将几个先验确定的术语和与布尔运算符相关的术语组合在一起，通过交叉引用找到总共181条记录和19个文档，然后选择这些记录和文档。结果。结果，我们发现大多数滥用行为包括伪造结果、操纵结果和抄袭。值得注意的是，在现代，数据发布的压力更大，同时，互联网的便捷接入似乎增加了不当行为。同时，也有一些研究侧重于识别不当行为并确保研究的有效性，如学生/教授的特征;学术和国家程序分析;当发现虐待行为时的行动程序和策略。结论。目前的调查在识别进行不当行为的研究人员的概况方面已经重复了很多，并且主要使用了一种方法，在这种情况下，问卷调查，由于主题本身的敏感性，人们可以质疑所给出答案的有效性。因此，我们认为解决这一问题的调查重点必须改变，谁能回答以下问题:我们如何识别数据在收集或处理过程中的操纵、捏造或伪造?

期刊介绍： The editorial policy of The Annals of Applied Sport Science (Ann. Appl. Sport Sci.) follows the multi-disciplinary purposes of the sports science to promote the highest standards of scientific study referring to the following fields: • Sport Physiology and its related branches, • Sport Management and its related branches, • Kinesiology and Sport medicine and its related branches, • Sport Psychology and its related branches, • Motor Control and its related branches, • Sport Biomechanics and its related branches, • Sociology of Sport and its related branches, • History of Sport and its related branches, • Exercise, Training, Physical Activity and Health, • Physical Education and Learning. The emphasis of the journal is on the human sciences, broadly defined, and applied to sport and exercise that is defined inclusively to refer to all forms of human movement that aim to maintain or improve physical and mental well-being, create or improve social relationships, or obtain results in competition at all levels. The animal projects also can be evaluated with the decision of Editorial Boards.
