“…In addition to this, several Iranian journals have been trying to raise awareness among academics about research integrity and publication ethics in recent years [ 54 - 57 ]. For example, a paper depicted several examples of good practice (eg, obtaining permission before reproducing figures protected by copyright) and examples of research and/or publishing misconduct (eg, data fabrication, ghost and guest authorship) followed by relevant recommendations based on COPE guidelines [ 58 ].…”

BackgroundA substantial growth has been reported in Iran’s health research output over the last recent decades, throughout the times of economic, social, and political instability. This study reviewed the existing literature to provide a better understanding of the evolution of Iran’s health research system over this period.MethodsA narrative review of studies addressing health research system (HRS) in Iran was performed. The search strategy and categorization of the retrieved data was informed by the HRS framework of the World Health Organization (WHO). This framework proposes four functions for HRS: (i) stewardship; (ii) financing; (iii) creating and sustaining resources; and (iv) producing and using research. Searches in MEDLINE through PubMed (using MeSH terms) complemented with semantic searches through PubMed and Google Scholar were conducted.ResultsAfter removing the duplicates, 805 articles were retrieved, of which 601 were irrelevant, and 204 were reviewed.ConclusionsIran has made substantial progress in different components of its HRS over the last few decades, such as starting a discourse surrounding health research ethics, priority-setting, and placing monitoring mechanisms while increasing the capacity for conducting and publishing research. However, there is still room for improvements, or even a need for fundamental changes, in several components, such as regarding increasing the research budget and improving the funding allocation mechanisms; improving the education curriculum; and promoting the use of evidence. The findings emphasized that improvement of HRS functions requires addressing context-specific problems. This review provides essential lessons to share with other low- and middle-income countries and international organizations, eg, the WHO.

“…In this conceptual review, it is referred to as the tendency to intentionally partake in unacceptable academic conduct which could result in plagiarism or condoning the act of plagiarism. Several researchers (Tran, 2012;Murtaza et al, 2013;Ghajarzadeh et al, 2013) have explored the attitude of students towards plagiarism arriving at different findings which suggest that there could be many influences on their attitude.…”

“…Taking a different approach from those adopted by Tran (2012) and Murtaza et al (2013), Ghajarzadeh et al (2013) these medical students with the use of questionnaires (of which 198 were completed out of 230). They found that the interns (those that will be specialists soon) gave more correct answers to questions in the "attitude towards plagiarism questionnaire" than the other participants.…”
