Editorial: Research ideas and academic integrity: Consideration of some key issues

摘要

'All of us will appreciate, all too often from first-hand experience, the acuteness of the sense of neglect evoked by recognizing our own thoughts converted by others into words, and the ferocity of the emotions that can be aroused when others occupy intellectual territory we regard as ours' (Maddox 1991, p.13) Research and academic settings are unique. The 'publish or perish' ethos creates high expectations for staff, who are expected to publish on a regular basis in high quality, international, peer reviewed journals to demonstrate academic success and meet performance measures.
