Abstract

The study examines academic integrity as a key factor in ensuring ethical and reliable scientific research. Major forms of misconduct, as well as contributing factors such as competition and inadequate evaluation systems, are analysed. The research employs international ethical codes and scientific literature. Findings indicate that academic misconduct is a systemic issue requiring a comprehensive approach: ethics education, critical thinking, anti-plagiarism tools, and transparent monitoring procedures. Promoting a culture of honesty and respect for authorship enhances research quality and trust in scientific results.
